Pitchers in the Earth by Dmitry Krasnopevtsev

The main theme of DM Krasnopevtsev’s creative work was a “metaphysical still life”, easily recognizable by his graphic manner, monochrome and a touch of surrealism. In these works, the artist is interested in the structure and materiality of objects – beaten pottery, dried plants and sea shells, always written to the touch of sculpture, as if fashioned, cut out or cut from various materials.

In the picture “Pitchers in the Earth” clay vessels, written on a neutral background, dissolve the connection with space, begin to exist independently of it and are as if in weightlessness, not obeying the law of gravity. The artist is interested in the form as such and its magical ability to create compositions.
