Slav Krivoshiev is a passionate Russian artist that shares his stories vividly on canvas. Visual Language first featured his work in January of 2014 and invited him again to be a featured artist in this issue.
The hidden metaphors in his compositions challenge the viewer to look far beyond the surface. His colors and use of texture are metaphors in their own right. Yet as one stands before his work warily, so exactly does the allegory in the painting mimic the other reality - is it the fear one might recognize in a scene expressing a reality kept at a distance? His works intimately connect places and times of familiar stories and myths with unfamiliar visions.
