The jet trail

'One summer evening, I set up my camera in my backyard in Bicske, Hungary, to try out my new 500mm telephoto lens on the moon. When I uploaded the images onto my computer I couldn't believe it, I had no idea the aeroplane had passed by, a chance in a million - and an image of our times.'

Here are the amazing surrealism paintings by Russian artist Vladimir Kush – No computer are involved in any of his work ! here its oil paintings, with a huge Dali inspiration, Kush’s paintings are perfectly executed, with a genius attention to details, Vladimir is considered as one of the most talented surrealist painter alive…

Vladimir Kush' is a Russian born painter, who is identified with the metaphorical realism movement.

Born in 1965 in Moscow, he learned to draw at home and started attending an art school at the age of 7. He entered the Moscow art institute at 17, and when he went for his mandatory two years of military service at 18 was soon set to painting murals and canvases rather than regular infantry duties.

Bored with the Cézanne-style painting his art school concentrated on, Kush switched to surreal images as a teenager; he experimented with different styles of impressionism after seeing a book of Salvador Dalí's work in the late 1980s but it didn't appeal because shape was lost in the style. Strongly influenced by his father (a scientist), he believes that realistic paintings show the artist's professional skill and draw the viewer in so that they accept the impossible images enough to see the metaphors in them and explore the different layers of meaning.

In 1990 he showed works in Germany together with two other Russian artists; he visited Los Angeles for a show and stayed in the United States.
