Judy Drew, 1951 | Still life

Renowned Australian artist Judy Drew was born in 1951, graduating from Melbourne's Prahran College of Art in 1970.

From the time she purchased her first set of Schminke pastels there was an immediate connection with the medium.

"When I started to use pastels, I began to study the pastel artists of the Post Impressionist period - in particular Degas. Degas' portraiture with its delicate line work, tendency towards understatement and often spare use of colour appealed to me".

Andrey Aranyshev / Андрей Аранышев, 1956

Андрей Аранышев is a unique painter known not only in Russia, but also in many countries of the world.

It is possible to say, that to some extent his artistic gift passed to him from ancestors. His great-grandfather - Dmitry Mitrofanovich Kucherenko - was a well-known violinist and opened the first musical school in Yaroslavl.

The brother of the great-grandmother - Grigory Vasilevich Sarenko - was the architect who has designed many famous buildings of Yaroslavl, including a building of former hotel "Bristol" and fire depot on the Red Square.

The artist’s works are remarkable for interesting forms, harmony of color scale and a variety of images, especially the portraits.

In each image individuality and mood are distinctly read through, whether it is a fabulous mythological hero - Dionisis, Silen, the goddesses, disposing a string of destiny, - or characters from real life or the artist’s imagination.

"I began painting seriously around the age of 15, but before then I had always loved to create. Art was one of the few things that could hold my attention for a long period of time. Sketching was my frequent pastime. It is hard to remember exactly when painting became such a huge driving force in my life. It crept up on me in such a gradual way which makes it hard to remember the exact beginning. What I do know is that after meeting a few local artists, who were professionals locally and nationally, my love for painting and drawing became more of a reality".
