you’d think “nudity on its own is not taboo in many cultures of the world” is essential trivia that everyone encounters by the age of ten, which informs people how taboos are non-rigid social constructs. but no, every day you will meet people containing a lifetime of informed opinions and moral frameworks, whose world views would be shattered by telling them “nudity on its own is not taboo in many cultures of the world”
I’m thinking of Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace by Evgeny Sedukhin again…
hmm okay i’m trying to dig up a source on this painting, to see if i could find it in any higher quality
but i can’t find any evidence of its existence from before 2018 lmao
and searching the artist’s name only gets me like 6 pages of results on google
and a little artist showcase page on arthive for this guy with exactly 1 painting listed
and a biography that spells this guy’s name like 5 different ways
which i’m pretty sure is because it’s machine translated from something
very mysterious
oh doing his name in russian gives me some actually useful results, why didn’t i think to do that
????????? ????? “Sunny City” – No date given.
???“World” – No date given.
????????? ????????. “Chusovskie expanses.” Canvas, oil, 1997. Exhibited at the Nizhny Tagil Museum of Nature.

okay that’s all the art this article had, i’m really glad i could find some this artist’s other works!!!!
Holy shit, I think I have a new favorite artist.
Just… the colors, the shapes, the use of soft and hard edges… and temperature. Maybe it’s just the sort of things I’ve been thinking about, but I’m seeing some very interesting use of temperature here.
Like, in Earth, I can feel the chill as you walk down into the shadow in the center of that quarry, and the blistering heat of Cast Iron is Coming. But there’s also… some sort of temperature yin-yang thing going on? Like, in Sunny City, it looks like a pretty warm day in summer, but I can feel how cool that water and the shade around it is. Likewise, the Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace shows this beautiful, comforting warmth in towers of cold, hard steel.
