About the Item
Igor Vishnyakov is a Russian Postwar & Contemporary artist who was born in 1968 in Moscow. Igor spent his childhood in Africa and Southeast Asia. After returning to Moscow in the mid-80’s he started painting and photographing key figures of the Russian avant-garde movement, and began to widely exhibit his work. In his youth Vishnyakov became a significant figure in the Moscow and St. Petersburg art community.
He became a permanent member of the New Academy of Fine Arts soon after it was founded by Timur Novikov in 1989. He was first made aware of alternate photographic printing processes while studying in the New Academy. Amongst other photographers such as Novikov, Egelskiy, Alexandrov, Ostrov and other Academy members, Vishnyakov was engaged in reviving precious photo printing techniques widely spread in the XIX century, such as gum arabic pigment print, bromoils, calotypes, chirotypes, carbon process, Savrasov and Sery methods and many others.
In 1990 Vishnyakov moved to New York to establish himself as a reporter and then as a fashion photographer and soon got his work published in a dozen of American and European magazines. Soon after, he continued his art education in the New York studio of a French painter, Emmanuel Flipo. Although living as an emigrant, Vishnyakov retained his connections with the Russian art world, especially with the New Academy, and participated in a number of group exhibitions. In 1997 he joined the movement that gathered neo-academics from Moscow and St. Petersburg.
His very own established technique is mixed media, combining classical photography, gum arabic pigment printing, tempera painting and printing. The smallest details, such as the peculiarities and nuances of applying an emulsion, with the pressure of brush strokes, or paper texture, give a strange, mystic significance, to his whole work. Photographic details show through and then dissolve in the layers of paint, leaving the image slightly unexposed and the philosophical background unrevealed, impelling the viewer to come back over and over again. Vishnyakov’s work has a feeling of ephemerality, conveying a sense of never being truly finished, leaving the viewer in a truly meditative state.
In his never ending reconnaissance of an ideal image of beauty, Vishnyakov is inspired by esoteric and Oriental spiritual practices. Everything finds a place in his art, whether it is the Asian Tao doctrine of five elements, symbols of Tarot’s Major Arcana, majestic temples of ancient India, nude figures or plain netsuke figures. Whatever it is, his major principle is harmony, both inner and outward, spiritual and visual.
Vishnyakov also teaches photography in America and Japan, practices kung fu and remains a Shaolin monk’s novice, a practice he has been doing for eleven years. At present he is living between New York and Moscow with his muse, the Russian supermodel, and talented painter, Sasha Pivovarova.

Igor Vishnyakov
Moscow, Russia, 1968 Established Russian artist Igor Vishnyakov mixes painting and photography in his artwork. Vishnyakov spent his in youth in Africa and Southeast Asia. In 1990 he moved to New York, where lives and works to this day. Although he does not live in Russia, he has remained in contact with the Russian art scene, taking part in exhibitions organized by The New Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. Projects such as 'Five Elements' (2004) and 'Tarot Cards' (2003) are characteristic of his work, as Vishnyakov is attracted to esoteric things, finding inspiration in oriental spiritual practices. In each concept that he refers to Vishnyakov looks for his own harmony, a fundamental principal in his art. In his search for new ways of combining techniques and materials, Igor Vishnyakov utilizes the possibilities of photography united with the unique character of painting by hand. Using traditional methods of hand painted photography together with the latest computer technology, Vishnyakov is able to break the borders between painting and photography.

Dodger Stadium Sky High - Original Acrylic on Photograph Cityscape Los Angeles
By Pete Kasprzak
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Pete Kasprzak’s passion for city life is expressed in his dynamic urban artworks. Kasprzak’s artworks express energy and life with animated brush strokes. He adds dynamic movement and texture with oil and acrylic paint on his mixed media cityscape artworks.
“Every work of art I create portrays a symbolic visual of the urban culture surrounding me. I give my artworks depth and movement with carefully chosen brush strokes lying on top of them. Some of my pieces have few strokes and sometimes they have many. It depends on the energy and motion I want to reflect in the artwork.”
Pete Kasprzak created this one-of-a-kind 11-inch high by 14-inch wide mixed media artwork by applying acrylic paint on a photograph. The unique textures and reflection of the paint set themselves apart from the smooth background. It is signed with the artist's initials on the front; and signed, titled, and dated on the back. Affordable U.S. and global shipping is available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Kasprzak’s artworks have been exhibited throughout the United States and Canada.
