I was thinking about continue the series of crazy bottles. First I had it in gouache medium. But only crazy bottles one was made then in oil, very tiny one 2004 and 2005. Later work of 2005 was sold, and keeping somewhere Russia.
And so I decided to made that first one again as a beginning of series, that was already painted by me 4 times in different mediums.

Work of 2005

As I was telling in my post ?White? idea appeared accidentally in one hand and long consideration on another. Really first idea, when I thought about it in 2006, while I lived in Tashkent, so I just thought about to draw a girl in White, clean, sincere & pure. Then just after we moved to St. Petersburg, i found that I could show it through the ballerina. So during a while I was considering to paint a Ballet dancer sitting and thinking. But I didn?t feel that this idea with Ballerina match the idea I wanted to convey in this painting. ?Cause in m case when I am thinking about Ballet dancers, they are very light for my idea, I mean not so much serious. So I don?t feel this character was exactly what I was needed for this panting. This Feb. finally I began to paint and this week I?ve finished the last part of this triptych. Though I am still watching the last canvas, searching any mistakes.

How did appear 2 more? When I was finishing paint White. I understood and felt she is impossible to be alone. So I though what and who can be next her. And in that evening I was sitting on the floor doing some sketches for future works. And some girls on my sketches and drafts seemed to me could work with White. So I draw small White and put them all together? I like a composition and I decided to complete it?

Technique? Work is made in abstract style. For a moment I like to use a paint knife, so this work again made with paint knife and small paint brushes. I still remember one cool Painting I saw in ArtWanted in 2005. It was a Violin player with viola and behind him was a red chair? The technique was divine of this work? But since that day I still can?t fid this work on ArtWanted.com. If smb knows this painter or this is work, please feel free to leave me a comment about it (Though even if you don?t know out this artist please feel free to tell me what you think about this my triptych).

Consideration of a name. Why ?White, Red & Black?? Hmm, well don?t go too far and don?t wait anything fantastic about it? Red, Black & White are my favorite connection of the colors. Yeah, I saw people wait I will use full palette. For a moment while I didn?t publish them all together nobody, but you knows that this panting is a triptych.

About Special offering? With this work I decided to make some kind of little offer for my clients. This work is available for purchasing as in parts, as I complete. And separated pieces cost – $600 each one. But three parts together ? only $1300.

White.

Idea.
Well, to be honest this idea is as accidental as long planed on another hand. First it appeared in summer 2006, exactly before i moved to Russia. But the way i decided to do it appeared accidentally. First, funny thing, when i was buying canvas with these measuries i had an idea to paint one work, but really SORRY what I think about buying this canvas, LOL, I forgot, lol. I thought to much & anyway i cant remember. So i used another canvases, & then i accidentally returned to this my idea. And in this moment i felt exactly how i need to make it. Well also during I was finishing this first part I understood that during a while will appear two more another works. Like a another two parts of this work. I will publish their photos in process in the end of this entry.

Technic characteristic.
For painting this work I was using a paint knife. And paint brushes for making a details. For a this period of time I like to use a paint knife.
