Park West Gallery Presents Anatole Krasnyansky

Anatole Krasnyansky once compared the precision and talent required to paint in watercolor with playing a violin.  “A false note is easily recognizable. Move your finger just a touch and the sound is not that which it should be. In order for the instrument to make the right sound, in order to play the violin without committing an error, it is of the utmost importance to have an impeccable technique and a good ear."  With his distinctive, vibrant, and profoundly expressive works, Krasnyansky has distinguished himself as a true virtuoso in the world of contemporary art.  His use of brilliant colors and surreal forms invites the viewer into his wonderful amalgams of traditional Europe and theatrical L.A.  But if one is to find the source of influence behind his art, one must look to his past.  Krasnyansky’s life serves as an inspirational well from which he draws deeply to create his art--whether it‘s his lifelong passion for music, spending his formative years in the oppressive U.S.S.R., his successful career as an architect, immigrating to the U.S. with his wife and daughter to live in Los Angeles, or taking on a new career to support his family.

While Krasnyansky has looked back to his personal past to create his works, at the same time he continues to move forward with innovative ideas.  Whether he’s developing new artistic methods or deriving inspiration from different experiences, Anatole Krasnyansky will undoubtedly keep progressing.  His latest works are rife with the same intensity and beauty that is found in his earlier work, as he continues to leave his mark on the art world as one of the true greats.
