Shavrin Valentin was born in 1936 and passed away on the eve of his 55th anniversary ... Age human maturity, a period when the artist possessing skill creates freely and confidently. Interest in art has defined his way of vocational training. In 1950 he visited a children's art studio at the Palace of Pioneers, who led JF Fedyanin. It was then sixteen years of age he creates watercolor "Pereyaslavl Rada", which was exhibited at the exhibition in Kiev, reproduced in print. For the future of this artist was crucial. Further education Valentin Shavrin gets on the picturesque school of Dnepropetrovsk branch (1960-1965). Since 1969 works in the Art Fund. 1971 participates in regional and national exhibitions. A trip to Donetsk in 1978, where he worked in the "Camp 3000" Republican creative team gave considerable material for the artist. It's understanding and expression of their targets, and the selected plots, on which he worked over the years. Persistently and emphatically back to the pictures already started, he was picky about his work. Possible solutions of his paintings "In the shower", "fisherman", "Bathing Boys" hit and surprised by its simplicity and straightforwardness treatment of subjects, the desire to express their feelings and thoughts with the greatest conviction. Making the most of color harmony and tension, he aspired to the image clarity, bringing it almost to the symbolic sound. The circuit structure and composition of his paintings is simple and corresponds to the classical tradition. A distinctive feature in some a desire to highlight and convey the dynamics in its natural manifestation. It is above all in the works - "Bathing Boys", "fisherman", "The joy of victory", "Summer", "Adventure of the Dancing Soldiers", which determines the movement of a particular way, that is, practically opens it. In other works prevails statika- "Family", "Ancient Russia", "The carriage" that corresponds to the problem and the nature of the structure shaped compositions. The talent of the artist's natural, nature, and full of inner spiritual forces determine its authenticity and originality. Find your theme and be able to speak in a new way about all known for a long time a difficult task, and a true artist always opens and finds an unexpected solution image. So Valentin Shavrin set himself such problems and found new incarnations and interpretations. For example his early work 'Maria with her son "(1966), where an unusual combination of two elements - the genre of the plot and the monumental significance of a generalized almost symbolic color of sound. "Kiss of Judas" 1987 affects sophisticated approach to the interpretation that acquires features our time in understanding and vision of the Gospel story. The essence of the eternal theme is expressed through the sharpness and psychological drama, in the treatment of different shaped and heat penetration. In the view of the interests and creative searches of the artist has always been a man. Shavrin gazed into the world in which he lived and took it. which corresponded to his understanding of humanity. His thoughts and feelings expressed in plastic images, unexpected from the standpoint of the official. Using the specific observations of life, he is able to find the perfect in everything and put it in line with his talent. And his talent is visible even in the fact that elected them plots were simple, for that opens the world of man wise, philosophically perceiving life. Among portrait images of his self-portraits are distinguished, of course, your approach and make it possible not just to look at themselves, and peer intently and without demanding discounts that not everyone is able to do. They reveal to us the character of the person searching and thinking, subtly and deeply chuvstvuyuschego.V self-portraits by the artist expressed understanding of the interests and beliefs of its contradictions, which always determine the true beginning of the creative life. Here, honesty and sincerity, openness and vulnerability are combined with determination and uncompromising, conviction and determination. Closer and open look in the artist's "Self-Portrait" in 1977 executed a sensitive attention. He seemed to be listening to something intense, concentrated questioning and reflecting on themselves and their contemporaries. Is psychological interpretation of the image is typical for most Shavrina portraits. His self-portrait of 1980 bears the unusual strength characteristics of dramatic emotional stress, his sacrifice and doom, but even the type of self-portrait "by Life of" originating composite solutions iconographic painting defines and affirms life. His life cross, each person is himself, and Shavrin expresses it visibly, with a certain proportion of sarcasm. Palette and dove stamps "Lives" - below the hands of the artist - opens the main aspirations of his soul. Understanding themselves in their own interests and beliefs compensated and expressed in his enthusiasm. He was an avid pigeon. Bird watching, their life was not accidental for the artist. Watching the birds soaring in the sky for their flights and movements, Valentin discovering the nature of life and the universe of birds in the philosophical aspect. First of all - this is disclosed in the complexity and depth of psychological characteristics in self-portraits. From meetings and communication with the artist remembered for his peculiar penchant for reasoning and understanding even the most basic of life factors and events. Its internal natural sense, perhaps it can be called intelligence, does not allow to behave differently ... Yes, it can be called modest in relation to what he was doing and creating, but he continued to do so, he thought it possible for yourself, -there "keeping hand on your heart ..." I leave a mark in the life of the artist and his work of the past war. It started when he was 5 years old. His attitude to the story topics related to the war, expressing it in the paintings - "Spring '43 / Smiths /" / 1987 /, "did not return from the war - is devoted to" / 1985 /, "the Dancing Soldiers" / 1986 /. His numerous drawings "Disabled" / 1966 /, "The years of postwar" / 1966 - 69 GG 1972 /, "Partisans" / 1972 /, "The guerrillas - demolition" / 1973 /, "Adventure of the Dancing Soldiers" / 1977 - 80 / oo definitely bring us a customized solution that topic. In the painting "Spring '43, / Smiths /" quirky and suddenly two men depicted shod horse. One of them - a wounded soldier with a crutch sitting on a stool, and near the blacksmith keeps the horse. The tension of the scene gives straightened soldier figure and reflections raging fire, as well as oblique rays sun. Expressive beginning distinguishes plastic figure for "The Adventure of the Dancing Soldiers" / 1977 /. The expressiveness of dancing figures in poses a contrast ratio of light and shade, along with exaggerated movement of the circle creates a frightening image of dynamism. Gestures of hands and feet and exaggerated emotional dramatic increase of its sound. Intrinsic Shavrin quality determines the uniqueness of his creativity. Artist searchingly, with constant attention and enviable persistence is your vision and expression in painting and plastic figure. And it can be seen primarily in the still lifes. This whole world is open and seen by an artist in his own way. The beauty of shapes, colors, fruits, vessels, objects with their complex and rich variety fascinated him. It creates interest in watercolor with an enviable simple and concise, compelling, filled with images of the powerful inner strength. This new world with open interest in the artist creates accurately and confidently. It detects and constructive nature of the whole composition and originality of forms, allowing you to see and feel all their peculiarity in a direct relationship with the mood of the person. Laconic still lifes "Still Life with Fish" / 1975 /, "Lilac" / 1981 /, "Grapes" / 1981 /, "Irises" / 1979 / has special advantages. It is above all the usual things and inspiring and original author's attitude to the problems of art, and this is their great mystery. It's not just in spring fragrant lilac and delicate irises, especially solemnly perceived and open artist awakening their eternal beauty. The beauty of the artist is able to find everything. So he opens it and shows in the picture with the image of everyday genre scenes of "The shower" / 1977-83-82 /. The beauty and tenderness of young women Shavrin tried to highlight and open, using the contrast. Young workers take off their clothes rough, their lovely in its natural movements of the plastic half-naked figures give the opportunity to experience their beauty and charm. A contrast to the rough clothes sound light and flexible figures, in which the artist was able to note the uniqueness of the individual characters of the representation of women, highlighting it is their postures, gestures and movements. That's the beauty of movements and postures, familiar and natural for working women, touching in the film "fisherwomen". These plastics have the power and ease, so in tune with nature and its natural beauty. The emotional pathos disclosure youth theme distinguishes "Bathers boys" / 1985 /. They are associated with the author's memories of his childhood. Among the boulders and raging water element naturally perceived motion of three teenage boys. They are full of strength and energy, lightness and graceful movement, confidence and fragility, it is an integral part of nature, which submits the unbridled force of eternal element. One can not help recalling the interest Valentine Shavrina to artist Alexander Ivanov, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, who solved similar problems in his work, and it is gratifying that the author tried to find a solution. The works possess an exciting and dynamic expression refers painting "Summer" / 1987 /. It become a free, easy movement of the two girls' figures melted paint scorching hot summer sun. All in unison and moving fulfilled life. A small cloth, however, distinguishes the monumental sounding concise and coherent order. The severity of hard plastics picturesque images in the paintings of the artist refers to the structure and nature of the figure. The expressiveness of the latter reveals a very subtle and skillful draftsman. His drawing is accurate transfer form, line and dashed expression attracts a certain picturesque. Of particular interest is the artist's monumental art and expression in its historical subjects. The artist created a world on the brink of the senses and the mind. Hence, a harmonious balance of composite parts, logical thought completeness structurally plastic solve them. However, mnogoznachaschaya color symbolism emphasizes confrontation dissonant color spots, gives his canvases expressive expressiveness. These qualities of individuality of the artist are unique and original Valentine Shavrina.
