About the Artists:
Sergey Dikovsky, NY
Sergey Dikovsky born and raised in Ivanovo, Russia, Sergey Dikovsky has been drawing, carving, and sculpting since early years. Even though he attended the College of Textile Design in Russia, Sergey considers himself as self-taught. He moved to New York in 1989 with his wife and two sons. Having to support himself and his family, Sergey worked as a computer programmer, which left him little time for his passion. Nevertheless, he always found an opportunity to sneak in a sketch, a rough wooden carving, or a painting on cardboard. Having retired, Sergey found himself spending more and more time at his easel. Finally free of time constraints, he boldly plunged into the world of creativity, experimenting with colors, perspectives, and themes.
Sergey’s inspiration is the world around him – words (both written and spoken), sounds, places, and images. He devours information in all forms. An avid reader, an attentive listener, and an observant spectator he is always either pondering some new idea, or redeveloping an old one. He is fascinated with history and world religions, and knowledgeable in a great many of subjects, which makes his paintings multifaceted expressions of his perception.
Sergey’s art is sometimes humorous, sometimes spiritual, and sometimes contemplative. It can be both colorful and dark. But no matter what the canvas displays, it always manages to tug at our inner strings. It stimulates the viewer’s thought, soul, and imagination. His works are beloved by a wide circle of friends’ family, and acquaintances, and are located in private collections in Europe and the US. He currently lives in Brooklyn, NY, with his wife.
Gennady Feldman, NY
Gennadiy Feldman moved to US from Kiev, Ukraine. He graduated the College of Art and Technology in Kiev and worked as an artist in animation studio, while practicing painting and drawing. In United States Gennady worked on movie sets and supported him by painting commissioned murals. He writes about his art: “I used varying techniques in my work and especially liked to use fluorescent paint. Visual illusions and luminous compositions create special atmospheres and imaginative perspectives. I like architectural landscapes and at times used architectural elements in my works”.
