Artist, Anatoly Baratynsky, has often, and justifiably, been referred to as an experimenter – because, on his artistic journey he has combined new painting techniques of his own invention with techniques already known, and, while using those traditional, classical techniques, he has invented a non-traditional, uniquely individual approach to them. Also, he combines with great gusto all mechanical means of artistic vision. Is it not himself, his own artistic journey that the artist depicts in one of his canvasses of the series called “Medicine”? In it, over the sign “Pharmakeutes”, a typical alchemistic activity from the Middle Ages is in progress, featuring flasks, retorts, salamanders and other characteristic attributes. However, the object of all this frenetic activity is not the mythical philosopher’s stone but rather a living person – a patient. It is important to understand that the “experiments” of Baratynsky would be much less attractive if they were dedicated solely to the technical aspect. The experiment that the artist conducts in his art has long ago left the sphere of quest for non-standard manners of painting; it extends to the ever distant plains of an artistic cosmos.read more>
Hello- I have admired your work at the Rozen gallery in Jerusalem several years ago- and I have been in contact with the gallery for a particular piece. It was a painting mostly gold,cube stones with what appeared to be red flowers- I have never been able to see it again- my daughter who was living in Jerusalem would look for it many times. Can you tell me if you can place this piece? Thank you for any information that you can offer- it was beautiful. ~Deborah
