Chris Guest from 120 rubles

Chris Guest - Catgirl: Chris Guest's work is bold, expressive, focused mainly on painting heavily tattooed people, in a "Pin-Up" style. Uses classic oil painting techniques. He studied in London, at the School of Fine Arts. Chris combines classical traditions with modern trends in his paintings.

In our modern life, much is often revealed from the past, and the well-known phrase: "Everything returns to normal" perfectly emphasizes the essence of this review, which will focus on the artistic style borrowed from the last century. And today I would like to tell you about an illustrator who revived the art of the Soviet poster in a completely new form. Artist from Nizhny Novgorod, Valery Barykin, combining two ideologically opposing visual propaganda of the middle of the last century of two countries - the USSR and the USA, received a completely new organic style - the Soviet pin-up.

A bit of pin-up history

To understand the essence of this style, you need to look a little into history. Therefore, I would like to remind the reader of the time when American men's magazines of the 30s and 40s were literally full of illustrations of beautiful coquettes, which became the most adored fetish item among soldiers, long-haul drivers and bachelors. Such publications were highly rated because many men who were fond of bright pictures managed to decorate their homes and car cabs with them, pinning them to the walls. From here came the name of this tradition: "to pin up" - to pin, after which a separate genre of art was later named.

In addition, sexual and at the same time chaste objects of adoration from the pages of magazines were very soon adapted to the needs of advertising companies. And what is interesting, in those years when beautiful girls from advertisements made in the style of pin-up winked at the citizens of America on every corner, inviting them to freshen up, shave or look into a cafe, Soviet people from propaganda posters at every step "were threatened with a finger by harsh women, policemen and firefighters.

Over time, the American pin-up has transformed into the so-called love-style, which was dominated by images of half-naked girls and touching stories of relationships: kisses, romantic dates, parties. In the 60s, this style was radically transformed under the influence of Bond, which, in turn, was literally crushed by color photography. Here is such a curious history of this genre.

This feature of the US periodicals of the middle of the last century was used with great skill in his work by the artist Valery Barykin. He literally created a mix by crossing two different styles in his creations: the Soviet poster and the American pin-up. And now, for the second decade, the illustrator has been creating posters imbued with satire and humor, similar to propaganda posters from the times of the USSR in the 50s and 60s and saturated with the aesthetics of the American pin-up.

And it should be noted that the artist's amazing idea to create a huge series of funny nostalgic works attracts a huge number of fans to his work. And in this way a new style in art developed - the Soviet pin-up.

And interestingly, in our time, many young artists turn to this style. But so far, only Valery Barykin occupies a leading position in this genre. And this is how the artist himself reacts to this situation: “Perhaps those who, one way or another, work in the pin-up style are very young people. Their memories of the Soviet era are very sluggish. They simply did not catch him, the spirit of that legendary era was lost … Sometimes even I can’t quite do it"...

And today the artist refers to himself as a postmodernist and is engaged in crossing one and the other, temporary spaces and geographical planes.

A little about the author

Valery Barykin (1966) is from the city of Ivanovo. At one time he graduated from the Nizhny Novgorod Polytechnic University, after which, abruptly deciding to change his professional direction, he graduated from the theater school and received a diploma as a "theater artist".

In the notorious 90s, the artist had to try himself in different types of creativity: he was engaged in painting, graphics, performances, print design. At the same time, he joined the Association of Artists "Gallery of Atypical Art" and became a member of many joint art exhibitions. But in the early 2000s, the artist, through creative searches, embodied the idea of ​​​​creating an innovative style - “Soviet pin-up”.

And this immediately begs the question, is there a demand for this type of art in our digital age? It would seem that unpretentious funny stories, oversaturated with small details and saturated with nostalgic notes ... well, what's wrong with that? It turns out there is a demand - and not a small one. Some viewers are attracted, first of all, by the plot contrasts of the artist's works, others by nostalgia for the past, and still others by interest in the Soviet past. But all of them are united by the desire for analysis, for the opportunity to reflect on what they saw.

It turns out that nothing attracts the attention of the viewer like a scrupulous scrutiny of the details down to the smallest detail. And since people mostly live in details and trifles, they think a lot about this and sometimes, based on their analysis, tell the artist about his plots that he did not even imagine when creating this or that work.

And besides, a person is arranged in such a way that the most emotional moments of his life are based on contrasts, which is simply in abundance in the artist's works. Various absurdities, impartial acts, indecent behavior, on which he draws the attention of the viewer, causes a violent outburst of emotions. And where there is attention, there are advertisers, respectively. Therefore, the main task of the author is to find such stories that will grab the attention of the public more firmly.

And as the illustrator himself tells about his creative process, he has been finalizing his works for quite a long time, adding these very details to them. Each time, glancing at the finished work, or after listening to someone's opinion, it very often occurs to him to fill the void with a suitable object or image. This is how the details appear, and it is they that bring the grateful attention of the viewer.

Pin-up posters: Pin-up, pin-up - is associated with the image of a beautiful, coquettishly naked girl in the style of American graphics of the middle of the 20th century. The popularity of Pin-Up came in the 30s, when charming cheerful girls in dresses fluttering in the wind, exposing their legs to heights that were unacceptable at that time, and slyly smiling beauties began to appear on the covers of magazines, allowing the fallen straps of the dress to expose beautiful shoulders. The idea of ​​a painted beauty on the cover of a magazine was an incredible success. Images with girls began to be cut out of magazines, pinned to the walls, and laughing drawn beauties acquired the nickname Pin-Up Girls (from the English pin-up to attach, pin to the wall).

In the forties, Pin-up pictures were instantly sold out and flaunted everywhere: on soldiers' calendars and magazines, on the sides of aircraft and tank turrets, on shell casings and walls.

Pin-up images have largely become works of art, often depicting an idealized version of exactly how a beautiful or attractive woman should look. Pin-ups reflect a certain spirit of the time, the ideal of beauty and the idea of ​​a woman. Famous film actresses such as Marilyn Monroe, Claudia Cardinale, Brigitte Bardot became Pin-up girls and posters with their images in millions of copies were bought and attached to cabinet doors.

The main feature of the pin-up was a veiled hint, and eroticism appeared as if by chance: the skirt clung to the door handle and was torn, the blouse was pulled up in the wind. Girls have always been portrayed naturally, radiating a lively, joyful and carefree atmosphere. Pin-ups are stylized by certain types of women: a charming child, a stubborn girl, an innocent-sensual fool, a beautiful bride, a chic dancer, a vicious stripper. All the funny scenes were played out in the well-known scenery of small American cities, the exact details of the background emphasized the "realism" of piquant situations.

More than half a century has passed since the 50s, and the pin-up style still excites the imagination of modern designers. Pin-up has become a reflection of American culture of the XX century. But to this day, pin-up is fresh, fashionable, beautiful and sexy! Perhaps that is why interior decoration with pin-up posters is relevant today.

In our online store you will find bright, colorful, charming retro pin-up posters that will transform any interior. Of course, choosing an image is quite difficult, because each depicted image is distinguished by its unusual beauty and femininity. But you can always choose not one, but even several Pin-Up posters and hang them on the wall or create an interesting composition. Show your imagination!
