Who of contemporary artists does not throw beads in front of the pigs is this Liza Lou … After all, she creates from this half-forgotten material amazing pictures, as detailed as possible, and therefore very similar to the photographs.
Unfortunately, embroidery with beads is not as popular as it was a century ago. Nowadays they are mainly engaged in informal and contemporary artists such as Angelica Artemenko, Alla Maslennikova or Lisa Lowe. The paintings of the latter are so unusual that at first glance it is generally difficult to distinguish them from other types of fine art, for example, watercolor drawings.
Born in New York, Lisa Lowe moved to South Africa in 2005 precisely for the reason that the art of beadwork still flourishes in this state. The local Zulu craftswomen have achieved incredibly high success in this work. An American artist tried to adopt their style of creation.
However, unlike Zulu women who depict African life, Lisa Lowe embroiders pictures that reveal her personal, American experience. She creates bubbly images of ordinary realities for the United States - typical houses with typical furnishings, food products, mechanisms, household appliances and much more from what surrounded the author throughout his life.

Nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten: 602 fallen soldiers, found by volunteers, rest near St. Petersburg
On the eve of May 9, a group of volunteers reburied the remains of 602 World War II soldiers they had found on the banks of the Neva River. About 200,000 Soviet soldiers died in those parts, and many of them remained where death overtook them, and were never properly buried. And only now, seven decades later, the victims were finally able to find peace, and the relatives finally learned what happened to their grandfathers and great-grandfathers
