In recent V. Notes, I have shared some of Carlos San Millan’s favorite painters. So far I’ve posted Kim Frohsin, Mitchell Johnson, Yann Kebbi, Марина Цветаева (Marina Tsvetyeva), and Sangram Majumdar. Today I’m posting Bato Dugarzhapov. Bato is a Russian painter born in 1966. I had his work saved for a V. Note someday. Looks like today is the day!
What I most admire about him is the direct his application of paint, the paint viscosity edible, applied with bold confident strokes, a long bristle brush, and a process so messy it’s amazing anything goes in the right place (see video at end of this post). His color mixing is deft and delicate. Most of his paintings are landscapes. Sometimes he plays with flattening the image, but in all of his paintings the subject matter is the paint itself.
This is an artist I’m going to save for my Brushstrokes class….
Watch him lay the paint on lightening fast. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone paint this fast before. (The video is only 5 minutes long.)
