Why His Art is So Captivating: The Works of Contemporary Artist Evgeny Terekhov
Contemporary artist Evgeny Terekhov was born in the city of Slyudyanka, Irkutsk region in 1974. He successfully graduated from the Irkutsk Art School at the Painting Department. He lives and works in St. Petersburg. The artist paints in the realist style. His works are distinguished by a certain mistiness, gentleness, and airiness. Terekhov's paintings are filled with light. He manages to convey the beauty of the places he depicts with great accuracy—whether it is a city or a small village. As can be seen from the master's works, he loves to paint landscapes. Especially the sea. His canvases feature amazing, vivid water: with a diversity of color, highlights, and waves. Terekhov's sea is always warm, often tranquil. The artist is distinguished by his attention to detail. And also his brushwork. It seems as if he paints his canvases with circular hand movements, as if placing commas. This makes us examine the picture, moving from detail to detail. Take a look at his painting "The Last Ray." How much effort has gone into it, and how many details are in the image! Terekhov's still lifes are especially noteworthy. In his paintings, the fruits seem alive: they have a scent, they make you want to eat them. The master's still lifes are not done in the traditional format (usually on a draped background and from the side). Often, we see fruits and vegetables from above. They lie on homogeneous surfaces and are bathed in light. The composition of his works is undoubtedly excellent. Many still lifes are read from bottom to top. The artist's palette is very diverse. He can paint with adjacent bright colors, with pure color, or he can create a work in the opposite manner: pastel, bleached, soft. The works of Evgeny Terekhov are in private collections in Russia, Europe, Japan, America, and India. They deserve to be known, and the fruits in his paintings make you want to eat them!
