Watching the people… They set and propagate the standards that tell us that white is black, green is yellow, pink is brown. They go into arts, investments, politics, law; and rise to the top into positions of command occurs through a process of the natural selection. They like to rule, define and run everything, and have never been known to suffer self-doubts. They caught cheating, stealing, lying more often than not; they think they own this country and they are in charge of making the news. When it reported correctly, they call it satire, when news is distorted, they name it news …

We live in a high-pressure, competitive society, with increasing concerns about security. Cities and suburbs miss meaningful human contact and the presence of a supportive community. We are inspired not only by painting or sculpture, but by a tree-lined city block, an aesthetically pleasing building, a work of public art. An environment that lacks the imprint of personal or communal art or craftsmanship does not encourage participation and creative expression. People want to build shared spaces that enliven their senses, strengthen their connection to the natural world, express their vision. Nature had always been a source of sanity and inspiration.

New spirit of experimentation and sensuality dominates. Nadia Russ’ highly expressive pieces coincide with the start of the new century – the fears and hopes generated by the start of the new millennium have contributed to it. The excitement generated in the run up to the turn of the new millennium, and we capture the astonishing painting activity, happening during this, very exciting periods for visual arts. The incredible technological advances of the last years have given today’s artist base to create forms that would have been impossible for past generations, to even imagine. Computer-aided design technology has enabled to not only dream up extraordinary images, but to create them.

Contemporary art as commodity has become so expensive as to be almost unaffordable to many discerning buyers.

Globalization, the Internet and the ease of travel allow new ideas from all over of the world to spread much faster than they use to. The speed at which idea spreads has led to fear of the world being swamped by a bland monoculture, but the opposite to be happening. Artists are resurrecting local traditions and drawing inspiration from their own experiences to create highly personal artwork which has global appeal.

Brightness and simplicity of Pop Art and deep, psychological realism, combined into a totally new – NeoPopRealism – style of visual art that reflects the new millennium expectations. Art movement NeoPopRealism is no longer dependent on the nod of a clique of “elite” journalists and art critics, but finds his way into the person consciousness by an infinite number of routes.

NeoPopRealism

ten canons, which Nadia Russ created in 2004, have united progressive people from all over the world:

Self-expression used to send out signals about who you are and what your aspirations are. Today, this phenomena has combined with greatest freedom than ever before, and creativity increased the artist’s potential…
