Sergey Vladimirovich Bakin is a renowned contemporary artist working in oil and pastel techniques. The master's paintings are held in museums and private collections; he is an Honorary Artist of Russia, a Corresponding Member of the International Academy of Modern Arts, a member of the Union of Artists of Russia, the Professional Union of Artists of Russia, a member of the French Society of Pastel Artists, and since 2020, a member of the Union of Pastel Artists of Russia (pastelsociety.ru) and the Union of Pastel Artists Red Rock Pastel Society of Nevada. The style of S.V. Bakin’s work was shaped by the twists of fate and accumulated experience; he is recognized as a master of line and spot, tonal painting, an excellent graphic artist, and a modern follower of the sensual impressionistic trend in painting.
According to art historians, the influence of the old Dutch masters, Venetians, and 19th-century French artists can be discerned in Sergey’s works. The painting style of the Spanish school and German graphics are very close to Sergey’s approach. The ghostly landscapes and silhouettes pay homage to the impressionist and expressionist movements in painting. At the same time, the artist has embraced the influence of impressionism in his own original interpretation, enriched by subtle color nuances and previously unseen psychological depth.
The artist possesses a virtuoso sensual line. His pictorial palette, despite its apparent monochrome, is extremely refined and saturated with the finest shades of color. The master’s landscapes are distinguished by magnificent plasticity and richness of forms. The main advantage of his canvases is their restrained harmony. Despite thematic closeness to the works of Pissarro and Utrillo, Bakin interprets his urban landscapes in his own way. Unlike his predecessors, the artist avoids overt colorfulness and naturalistic coloring. Creating canvases that seem monochrome in tone, he subtly varies many shades of light tones, compacting the entire canvas with drawing. Through the muted layering of “disorderly” brushstrokes, one can discern protruding walls, domes, tree trunks — all of which, as if by magic, are integrated into a rich urban landscape. The pictorial structure of Bakin’s paintings is light and bright, yet his landscapes are extremely “material,” dense, and textured. The artist’s paintings are distinguished by the fullness of generalization. With a single line, devoid of any tricks, he conveys the posture of a figure, character, mood: now the ingratiating pose of a man, now the light movement of a dancer. In these compositions, he works with large color spots brought to pure color, emphasizing the pale spots — faces. Bakin’s images are full of inner expression and, at times, deep tragedy. The intense vibration of color, lines, and fractured silhouettes — all this is the “pulsation” of life, shrouded in a nostalgic haze of the enchanting and languid beauty of art. Bakin, as an artist and a man, is immersed in the flow of everyday life, the complex life of a large, diverse city full of contrasts, a once magnificent, now fading capital. The painter is unafraid to be simple in his complex and beautiful painting.
