About the Item
Late 20th century mixed media surrealist painting by Yuri Ilyich Kononenko. Titled 'Ne Nastupit Bui!' (Wouldn't Come!). Signed with artists symbol bottom left. Fully signed, dated and with dedication to the back board. Presented in painted metal frame with card mount, (currently unglazed)
A powerful, enigmatic and engaging painting. A mysterious figure enters the water at the lake's edge and with outstretched arms invites someone or something to come. The tears and pained expression on the face of the figure show the heartbreak because the person would not come to him, hence the title of the work.
A very moving and emotionally charged painting. The materials and techniques used are soft and dreamy yet this contrasts with the strength of the emotion portrayed.
Yuri Kononenko was born in 1938 in Irkutsk. He graduated from the children's art school in Chita and the Irkutsk Polytechnic Institute, he studied at the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography. N.P. Akimov. In 1974 he became a Member of the Union of Artists of the then USSR.
Yuri Kononenko's works are in Russian and foreign galleries and museums, as well as in private collections in the USA, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Venezuela, Australia and Yugoslavia.
Kononenko's work is difficult to correlate with any specific direction in the art of that time; it “initially exists as if on the edge, only tangentially connecting with the unofficial artistic history of the 1960–1980s, removed from the poles of Moscow life with conceptualism, social-art, Shvartsman’s mystical sessions, Weisberg’s theories..." (E. Inozemtseva, 2009).
Artist, set designer, ceramist, graphic artist. Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. He studied at the Irkutsk Polytechnic Institute. It was at the institute that he met Yuri Pogrebnichko, a future theater director, with whom he would subsequently work for the rest of his life. In 1963 he entered the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography, the decorative and production department, in the class of Nikolai Pavlovich Akimov.
From 1965 he lived in Akademgorodok. He worked as an engineer in technical aesthetics, as a puppet theater artist, headed the art studio of a physics and mathematics school, taught at a children's art school, collaborated with professional and amateur dramatic groups, and took part in regional and zonal exhibitions of artists. In 1970 he moved to Moscow. He was engaged in easel graphics, painting, wrote texts and created his own version of “video art”, which he himself called cinema-theater. A true 'Renaissance' man.
Kononenko died in 1995.
