Exhibition
Valentyn Feldman. A Theory of Shade and Perspective
Press release
From March 30 to April 22, the Goldens auction house will host a new exhibition project by the Ukrainian architect and artist Valentin Feldman "The Theory of Shadows and Perspectives".
Valentin Feldman's work is mainly related to Crimea and Kyiv. In Sevastopol, even now, tourists come to the symbolic sign - the monument "Sunken Ships", and in Kyiv, the artist raised a galaxy of talented student architects, whose works have become the decoration of museums and the pride of Ukrainian cities. Moreover, Feldman became an important researcher of watercolors, having made a significant contribution to the development of watercolor painting in particular: with his significant work, teaching at institutes in Kharkiv and Kyiv, and books on the theory and practice of watercolor painting.
The architectural work is the first thing that begins with the acquaintance with Valentin Feldman's work. From 1891 to 1905, he worked as the chief architect of Sevastopol. Among his famous architectural projects in Sevastopol: the Palace of the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Sea Fleet and Ports (1890–1893), the Intercession Cathedral (1895), the Panorama House "Defense of Sevastopol in 1854–1855" (1902–1904, destroyed in 1942, rebuilt in 1954), monument monument to "Sunken Ships" (1905, in collaboration with engineer O. Enberg, sculptor A. Adamson). In 1905, he moved to Kharkiv, where he began teaching. In 1906-1910, he taught architectural drawing at the Institute of Technology. The author of the Shapara House project (Kontorska Street, 26). After moving to Kyiv (1910), Valentin Feldman continued his teaching activities in polytechnic (1910-1922), architectural (1922-1924) and art (1924-1926) institutes. Among his students are the architect Yosyp Karakis and the sculptor Hryhoriy Vasylevich.
In parallel with his teaching activities and work as an architect, Valentin Feldman worked on theoretical issues of color and light in painting, exploring the world of watercolors. In his works "Light and purity of colors in painting", "Theory of shadows and lighting on orthogonal projections", "Notes on watercolor painting", the artist provides a thorough theoretical basis for mastering the technique. These scientific explorations of the artist have not lost their practical value to this day, and his works are the most eloquent illustration of what professional watercolor painting should look like.
Perfect technique and sense of color allowed Feldman to convey the emotional impression of the depicted objects surprisingly convincingly. The artist made his own paints for his works, testing them for light resistance and meticulously selecting shades for work. Valentin Feldman's watercolors are not just sketches or sketches, but full-fledged finished works that are in no way inferior to many paintings. Valentin Feldman seems to grab color from the surrounding space, rearranges and combines fragments of reality on paper, creating a recognizable image, but a completely new image of familiar things and landscapes.
Valentin Feldman worked at the dawn of a new great era, but he managed to capture in his landscape the old Ukraine - quiet, calm, with untouched nature. Years will pass, Ukraine will be covered with a network of roads, rivers will be dressed in granite and concrete, lindens and willows will become slender rows, the sleepy chaos of past summers will be forgotten. But a thoughtful look will always be captivated by the beauty and perfection of the Ukrainian noon, embodied by the talented hand of Valentin Feldman in soft, warm watercolor tones.
To the collection of the exposition "Valentyn Feldman. Theory of shadows and perspectives" included one of the largest collections of Valentin Feldman's works, acquired by a Kyiv collector in the middle of the 20th century. The majority of works of his time were presented at exhibitions of the artist's works (1940s and 1960s). The watercolors and drawings of this collection are mostly devoted to Crimean landscapes, views of Berdychev and Luben, and are supplemented by several still lifes.
The exhibition is presented at the Goldens auction house from March 30 to April 22, 2023.
