This wonderful painting is entitled "Little Street" by the young Russian, Anna Vinogadova, (1975-) continuing to study at the Repin Institute in St. Petersburg.
After viewng this particular school's major artists', there is a style emerging that is quite fantastic.
Anna is only a student, but has captured that splash of colour and "aliveness" so similar to the "Repin" genre - not quite Impressionism, not quite anything, however the painting throws the viewer into the moment.
What astounds me about this painting is, again, that dream-like flow of pure energy, yet the Realism is evident because the painting evokes a visceral response...as if inviting you to enter its world.
This 'Little Street' could be anywhere around the Mediterranean: South Europe, North Africa or perhaps, Rome...
"Little Street" simply and with grace, politely asks:: "Walk with me...?"
One of my favourites from this Russian School.
Anna Vinogradova.
