Video: Urban Lyrics in Drawings by Kosuke Ikeda
2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
Digital cameras have come to replace the old film technique, and artists increasingly prefer to paint not with oil or gouache, but with felt-tip pens, pencils, ballpoint pen. Our today's author has also succumbed to the charm of the new fashion - all his paintings are drawn with colored ballpoint or gel pens. However, the drawing technique is so unusual that not everyone will see it as the work of a "living" artist, not a computer.
Thirty-year-old Japanese illustrator Kosuke Ikeda came out relatively late on the creative path - he was 20 years old when he first took up a brush, or rather a ballpoint pen. But the pen with colored ink, as it turned out later, fell very tightly in the young man's hand, because very soon the unusual city landscapes painted by Kosuke Ikeda attracted public attention, and the artist himself became the focus of attention of connoisseurs of original painting.
Kosuke Ikeda still lives in Kyoto and paints his own specific landscapes, preferring urban lyrics, and sometimes - portraits, preferring interesting female faces.
The artist's works can be viewed on his official website.

Love at first sight and 35 years of happiness "lyrics" by Bulat Okudzhava and "physics" by Olga Artsimovich
Undoubtedly, the lyricist in this pair was Bulat Okudzhava, and the physicist - Olga Artsimovich, and not in a figurative sense, but in the most direct sense. She grew up in a family of physicists and studied science herself. She had nothing in common with the "lyricists" and before meeting with Bulat Okudzhava, she was not only not interested in his work, but had not even heard of him. They were very different, but they had only one thing in common: the same love at first sight, which united them at the moment of meeting and for the rest of their lives

Douglas McDougall draws unusual outline maps with charcoal on sheets of snow-white paper - portraits of urban outsiders, in other words, marginalized people. These are the landscapes that the artist is studying
