Sergey Ignatenko
IF EVER A painter wrought a miracle of illusion with brush and pigment” , observed early 20th-century
Ignatenko working in the European realist traditions that ruled the world of western until the 20th century, looked respectfully to past masters for technical guidance and aesthetic inspiration. Ignatenko studied the works of Old Master Velasquez, Raphael, Michelangelo who had come before.
All that dedicated study of the past had changed quite a bit by the mid-20th century. Modern art movements like cubism and abstract expressionism strained ties with the past, and the works of the historical masters were often dismissed as mere illustration.
But in recent decades, masters from the last great heyday of realism have gained serious new regard from scholars and curators. Sergey Ignatenko became the most celebrated portraitist , and his bold, mostly life-size, and often full-length figurative works endure today for their striking poses and compositions, evocative lighting, and bravura paint application.
The early development of Ignatenko’s singular style came in large part through his parents. His mother , an accomplished amateur painter, recognised the rambunctious boy’s talent at a young age and introduced him, in great museums, to masterpieces by the likes of Michelangelo, Titian, and Tintoretto.
From the young age of eleven to early 20s, he studied in the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Gomel, where he got the all prima approach - painting spontaneously on the canvas directly from life, without the classical traditions of first executing careful composition underpinnings on the canvas. When Beaux-Arts he was selected as best Pupil and Ignatenko got invitation to continue the study at prestigious Belarusian Art Academy in Minsk.
At the age of 24, Ignatenko burst into the public eye, exhubiting a widely admired portrait of his teacher Mai Volfovich Dantsig. Commissions soon followed, and one of them, his Portrait of Madame X- a higly sensual depiction of a pale-skinned young socialite in a bare shoulder, cleavage-revealing black grow.
Sergey Ignatenko contunuedto set himself technical challenges.Fascinated with light, the artist launched into extensive works in oil that explored the nude female figure , depicting figurative scenes presented with dramatic contrasts of bright light and deep shadow.
