“We are waiting for the harvest from the best vines, So that beauty lives without fading. Let the petals of ripe roses wither, A young rose keeps their memory …”Who, no matter how Shakespeare, knew how to appreciate beauty and sensitively capture the fleeting beauty of blooming roses. Although the flowers created Ukrainian Vladimir Kanevskyreally live without fading. The secret is simple and complex at the same time - really amazing flowers did not grow on a flower bed, but were created porcelain by the hands of a talented master.
The first thing that strikes in the works of Vladimir Kanevsky is not only the hyperrealism of colors, ch and a huge variety of species. Hyacinths and chrysanthemums, roses and mallow, chamomile and snowdrops … what is not in the artist's collection. The art of creating porcelain flowers was very popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, when whole botanical collections began to be created by European artists. Vladimir Kanevsky was especially impressed by the exhibition of glass flowers, which he saw at the Museum of Natural History at Harvard University.
Of course, our compatriot approached the process of creating porcelain flowers creatively: instead of perfect buds and stems calibrated to a millimeter, he creates plants in clay pots that look very “natural”. Here you can see an accidentally broken leaf, and a pretty caterpillar not on the petals of a bud that is just opening. The renowned designer Karolina Röhm is convinced that Vladimir Kansky is one of the few craftsmen who can compete with nature.
The Ukrainian artist now lives in New Jersey (America), he says that he does not create artificial flowers, but flower sculptures. Vladimir painstakingly selects colors to make his masterpieces look "alive". Initially, he draws a sketch on a computer, and then proceeds to translate it into practice. He uses metal rods for the stems and leaves, as porcelain is too fragile for this.
The works of Vladimir Kanevsky, striking in their beauty, have long been appreciated by collectors around the world. On average, a flower pot is priced between $ 3,000 and $ 20,000.
