Nick's Artist pick of the day: Vladimir Dukholnikov

Nick's Artist pick of the day: Vladimir Dukholnikov Dukholnikov’s art is both tangibly and visually captivating, as well as meditative and spiritual. His paintings are immensely physical. When in front of his art you feel the physical and imposing presence of the canvas as it is trying to lure you into something completely new, tricking your earthly 5 senses. You feel engaged in a reflection on the meaning of presence and being, while at the same time you feel catapulted into the eye of a spiritual hurricane. The paintings are intended to remind the viewer, in the artist’s terms, that yes we do have a body but there is more to it. I would call it a humanistic experience, especially now when the very term “humanism” has a very unclear meaning. If for Dukhovlinov hope is equal to truth, his art is an invitation to discover your own truth.
