Autobiographical notes

Whole adult life I have been doing this business. I can not imagine life without him. Over the years many changes have. Are changing the pressure, color, questions that we ask ourselves. One thing remains constant - the desire to hide in the shelter of their creative work, to remain thus alone with yourself and feel they belong large eternal peace. Shall no secrets and embellishment before God.

Criticism

Paintings by Ivan Lubennikova very simple in composition. Sometimes this simplicity seems almost ascetic, as, for example, still lives in his last years, where the whole pictorial series are one, rarely two items on the "table" ...
Relatively easy to genre scenes. One, two figures, the contour image of several objects, general or, more precisely, enveloping everyone and everything conventional background, denoting a pet or street space. No advanced tricks or entertaining detailing. Only the essence of "events" - an apple on a table or nudity in the window ...
Lubennikovu like changing textures. He dared even to gold and silver surface of the canvas, drawn not only to the brush, but also to mastehinu; very loyal to insert and all that is called "collage" (but without the extremes popartisticheskih). Speaking of extremes. With all the freedom of action on the canvas, he knows how to treat a classic painting, worked out prior to and within the first half of the twentieth century ...
