Malamed Hennady
This full-spread illustrated art book includes the pictures created by a talented Ukrainian traveler and artist Alexey Khomych within a decade. All of the paintings have been inspired by the artist's travels in South America and are full of mystery and magic; they may not seem obvious at the first sight, but they always offer something to think about, and it is children who are much easier to embrace these wonderful realms since children are always open for the miracle.Peacocks and elephants, owls and fish, camels and humans, Aztec pyramids and ocean depths - all those come in the most incredible images and combinations, and each picture provides food for thought and inspiration giving us a unique opportunity to fantasize, and each of us will be able to see something unique in them.To learn more about the artist, you may visit his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/homich.alexey “The world around is but a secrets donor,So, can you get it, be you big or small,Whose shield it is, and who’s its decent owner?And maybe it is not a shield at all?!Or can it be a hat of an enchanterThat keeps all magic secrets deep inside?It’s up to you – to guess or to surrender –Where is the head and how can it hide?”* * *“Obstinate, tough, in the wonderful order,The Camels were wandering forth,Reaching the edge, and the end, and the border,Yet, there are no those on the Earth!...” Hennady Malamed’s poems for Alexey Khomych’s canvases – bright and philosophical, funny and sad, and just wonderful – provide an unexpected angle for viewing this charming world and help the reader to start interacting with the pictures.
