“Landscape in Solcedo”, 1994

Did Yuriy Larin know what will the final version of a painting look like? He, himself declared and not once that he did not have any idea about the outcomes. On his canvases the images portrayed the main value and were not trying to express anything more than what they already were. They were created naturally and could take the most unusual shapes.

“…Putting aside the details, boldly adding changes, Larin exposes the essence of the landscapes. The lightness and materiality, fragility and weight… clash on one paper, thus creating a complex polyphony and sophisticated image of nature…”

(G.Yelshevskaya.1985)
