THE JOYS OF EACH DAY

Vladimir Kim has his own creative view of the outside world. The work of this famous artist of Uzbekistan does not conform to ordinary ideas. After graduating from the Graphic Art Department of the Tashkent Nizami State Pedagogical Institute Kim was not in hurry to become famous. For many years he worked unassumingly painting small sketches mainly in watercolor, keeping away from recognition.

His mane theme is nature. Regardless of bad weather, rain of shine, the painter takes himself to the Chimgan or Aktash mountains to draw material for his numerous sketches. The motifs of his works are quite different, each one reflect a special word, a certain emotional state.

Vladimir Kim created his own type of landscape. By setting aside usual scenes, he tries to bring the subject closer to the viewer. On face value his compositions seem excessive, but this is only at first glance – the painter takes one theme or element to describe the meaning of the particular work (“Mountain Veil”, “Blue Dominant”, “Storeys”). 

It is only for the last 10 years. That Kim has gone in for creative work.  The painter constantly searches for new  ways to express his surroundings. He focuses his attention on people’s homes, an integral  and natural part of life. His unusual perspective for example, from somewhere above, makes works such as “The house where I live” , “The last rays”, a series of pictures with roofs, very pithy and impressive.

The artist has some favorite landscape subjects which he uses to influence his viewers for example, Kim often uses one or some trees to create an emotional and poetic harmony within the picture. One could even perceive them as characters with real human feelings. Examples of this style can be seen in “The sweethearts” and ”An old plain tree”. The relativity of an art language allows the viewer to ponder on his existence. 

The strongest  feature in Kim’s work is color, using color he makes dramatic images in his pictures.

His optimistic outlook of the life has such an influence on his viewers that they cannot but identify with the artist’s feelings. The works of Vladimir Kim reflect his own special world of kindness.
