About the Item

Two Shifts 31.0 × 47.0 × 1.0, 1.0 lbs Acrylic paint Hand signed by the artist Artist's Commentary: "The biggest misconception about these paintings is that they are beautiful effects created by some technique. Such effects are more common with contemporary artists to make their work more engaging and attractive without implementing any structural change to the entire painting process. Here are five examples to differentiate them. 1: it’s a common practice for students to use charcoal in drawing classes. The charcoal, unlike pencil, leaves dark thick lines but some creative student can turn these lines into a smooth surfaces by just rubbing thick lines with a cloth and spreading the charcoal evenly. This action creates an effect in drawing. 2 Another student might take some post-it notes ,cut them into different shapes, place them on top of drawings to establish boundaries and then do the rubbing. . This approach can create sharp silhouettes after the post-it notes are removed. Here the effect was elevated to a technique. This gave us smooth surfaces and also defined outlines. 3 Another student wants to create depth by applying one point perspective. Is the law of perspective just another technique? Of course not, it’s a science of space which has been used hundreds of years as a painting method. But even the method has its limitations. Perspective gives us an illusion of depth, but it does not have any relevance to color and design, light and dark and other aspects of the art-making. It’s not hard to guess that the next step of the ladder will be a process that introduces entirely new solutions to all the aspects of the painting process. the creation of light and dark; form and space; colors and shades depth; the entire overlapping’s ; reflections and shadows;.1ST 2nd 3rd 4th planes are transformed entirely. Effects and techniques are the result of the impulsive creativity, while the methods and processes are structural changes of the entire operation. The last two break away from the tradition but remain in a comfortable reach for the traditionalist. In another words the new structural and operational changes remain in the same medium. 5. If another student decides to use photography, the student moving into entirely new medium." About the Artist: Hratch Israelian is an Armenian-American artist, inventor, writer, and animator. He introduced the most efficient and democratic process of painting to the art world. Early life Israelian was born June 7, 1956, in Yerevan, Soviet Armenia (former USSR). He received an elementary education at K. Abovyan High School. In 1972, he laid down the foundation for a new painting process. His work identified with Soviet Nonconformist Art. His paintings have been displayed in the Artist Union of Armenia and Home of Art Workers. Soviet art circles considered his new method as a new painting style and its significant potentials were ignored. In 1980, Israelian emigrated to the United States and the Ministry of Culture of the USSR gave official permission to Export 115 of his paintings which went through intense scrutiny for possible espionage. Artist and Inventor The paintings Israelian created in the 1970s have been in contact with the turning points of modern history, but they remain ignored. Hispersonal talents and skills are not in question here. Israelian’s art is about other people’s infinite imagination and hidden talents, and his job is to make the painting process easy and affordable so everyone can try. Israelian invented a new painting process that manually produces maximum speed, size and quality, with minimal cost and labor. From 1996 Israelian started writing an epic poem, called "Bread and Wine.” The book tides the contemporary cinematic genres to the literary traditions of the deep past. From 2002 Israelian worked on the staging of his epic poem through 3D animation by creating all 100 characters as high-resolution digital sculptures. Israelian lives and works in Los Angelos.
