The Pear

Still life (nature morte) is a favorite genre of a lonely artist. Melons, grapes, peaches, apples and pineapples are his friends. He can talk to them, tell them a story, and immediately perform it out by placing the model objects. Viktor Suzarev paints paired characters: two pears, two watermelons, two leaves. It seems that at first he painted only one watermelon, and a second appeared on the canvas by itself. Loneliness becomes cooperation, friendship, love. The artist puts paints thickly, and they glow brighter, as if he were painting on glass. Light overflows the picture.
