Albuquerque Fresco & Dolphin Fresco at the Fresco School Video Channel

Dec. 16, 2008 - PRLog -- Fresco School Video Channel at YouTube.com presents two new fresco videos!

"Albuquerque Fresco" - video vignette of over 400 sq. feet buon fresco painted by iLia Anossov (fresco) in 1999, filmed by Emmy Award winning cinematographer Amy Marash (Bowers) for "Albuquerque Fresco - Inside Look" documentary. Also presented - "Dolphin Fresco" Parts 1 and 2 - a step-by-step journal of the Dolphin Fresco by iLia Anossov,

The Albuquerque Fresco by Ilia Anossov is a paradigm of a brilliant modern fresco. Its technique is on the Grande scale. Viewing it is reminiscent of watching a gigantic film, for this fresco incorporates not only cinematic techniques, and reminders of the most brilliant art, but also resounds of the painting of late modern artists with a flair for whimsy, like Jean Miro, and Paul Klee. At the same time there are images and techniques which evoke paintings of early masters.

It is as though the fresco artists have honed a living and breathing creature Fresco is public art rather than "elite" art. It is also a common effort of the artist, plasterer and others involved in the process. Frescoes created for all people to see and enjoy, and do not require extensive education to understand and analyze their significance. Granted there will always be scholars and art critics who take apart every art work, but frescos are made for the collective enjoyment. Frescos depict the most cherished cultural aspects of any civilization in their attitudes.

Dolphin Fresco, a buon (true) fresco by iLia Anossov (fresco). An "ansamble" of classic fresco technique Pompeian plaster methods and mild influence of art deco. The foam on the waters surface seems to reference the dramatic movement of water in The Big Wave by Japanese artist Hokusai Katsuchika. A boarder of geometric spirals seems to echo the shapes of the walls below and adds a Mediterranean touch to the work.

The composition is fitting as the house is so close to the Pacific Ocean that an open window provides the viewer with the sound of crashing waves. The blue sky and intense blue-green ocean of the background in this composition complements the color scheme of the rest of the bathroom which incorporates light hues of green and blue and the stark white of fine marble.
