New collection "The Link of Times. Contemporary Abstract with a touch of Antique." The unique material that I use - Original Rare Antique Newspapers printed in 17th, 18th century. Mixed Media 24x24" on canvas. Contemporary Abstract with a touch of Antique. Unique Collage Painting created with Original Rare Antique Newspaper printed in 1831, New York, acrylic and oil. World of color, textures and shapes. Newspapers have their own history as if they are mirrors of human mode of that time. They are unbiased chroniclers of the era they come from. Most of the newspapers belong to 17-19th century. Im thrilled when I touch pieces of the newspapers because I touch frozen moments of past centuries. I feel breath of life at this moment. I cant describe my emotions when I hold torn yellowish newspaper in my arms, its like as if there is a connection between me and a person who used to hold the same newspaper in his or her hands centuries ago. Newspapers can tell a lot of interesting stories from the past. My imagination explodes picturing moment of that everyday life. Time flied, babies were born, they grew and became adults. After they found their happiness and completed their missions, they died leaving behind something tangible newspapers. I cant be indifferent reading these newspapers. There is a invisible spiritual bridge between past and future cultures that crosses time lines. This energy and ideas behind these newspapers charge me. It pushes me to create new art structures new art pieces. In other words, I transform these old ideas and antique media into a new concept, new language to express new ideas and thoughts. ART REVIEW BY DE NAVARRO This piece certainly captures the heart and soul of old New York. The waterfront is the first thing that grabs me in this remarkable painting leaving me with a sense of awe and peace. The city poised on the waterfront has both depth and height led by the tall black building in the front which seems prominent in its importance. The master stroke is the backdrop of the newspaper which bleeds through in strategic places to add a rich sense of history. I feel a grand and proud city, the name boldly displayed in the newspaper backdrop in antique engraved print. The colors and textures mix with a great sensibility and the lines in the water reflect industrial might. This painting embodies so much within its impressions and abstractions and is so well pleasing to the eye that it is instantly one of my favorites of Irena Orlov.
