Canada falling short of U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals: New Report from Water Scientists
HAMILTON, ON.—Canada could lead the world in helping to achieve water sustainability but is falling short of reaching the goals set out by the United Nations (U.N.), according to a new report from scientists with the University of Saskatchewan-led Global Water Futures (GWF) program.
The report, entitled Water Futures for the World We Want, takes aim at areas where the country is lacking in water resource management and scientific research, and outlines several recommendations for Canada to meet the 2030 goals outlined by the U.N.
“As a proud partner of UNESCO and the U.N. Water Action Decade, we are continuously looking at ways in which we can lead the country in meeting our sustainable development goals as they relate to water,” said John Pomeroy, USask’s Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change and GWF program director.
“Canada could be a world leader on this issue, but we have to transform how we observe, predict and manage water to meet these goals and then share our solutions globally. This is a fitting role for Canada as a world leader in freshwater and hydrological science.”
The report—released Nov. 19th in Hamilton, Ontario where 100 of Canada’s leading water scientists are gathered for a national GWF meeting—cites examples of shortcomings such as inadequate access to clean drinking water on First Nations (even when drinking water advisories are eliminated), declining water quality in lakes, rivers and streams across Canada, lack of wastewater treatment in parts of Canada, and severely stressed river basins such as the South Saskatchewan River where water extraction reaches very high levels in dry periods.
As well, the report also highlights an absence of fully integrated co-operation between provinces and with the federal government on trans-boundary water issues.
Canada, along with 192 other nations, committed to ensuring sustainability of water resources through its official adoption of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Collectively, these goals represent a roadmap towards a more resilient, just, and equitable society.
While only one of the 17 SDGs (#6) is explicitly dedicated to achieving progress on water issues such as drinking water access, wastewater, pollution, and transboundary water resources management, a total of 40 targets across the other 16 goals are related to water.
“If we are to show the world how to achieve water sustainability, Canada first needs to get our own house in order to achieve the water goal SDG #6,” said Dr. Corinne Schuster-Wallace, professor of water-related human health in the USask geography and planning department and co-author of the report.
“Canada still has not reached universal access to reliable, potable water supplies. While the commitment to eliminating drinking water advisories in First Nation communities will go a long way to achieving this, many more aren’t even served by water treatment systems.”
According to this and several other recent reports, Canada is also on the front line of rapid climate change, with temperatures warming at more than twice the global average and three times the global average in Canada’s North.
“Catastrophic water-related experiences such as increasing frequency and severity of floods, drought, wildfires, and toxic algae blooms are creeping threats that undermine our quality of life, health, and safety,” said Bob Sandford, co-author of the report and EPCOR Chair in Water and Climate Security, United Nations University – Institute for Water, Environment and Health, which is hosted at McMaster University in Canada. “They also cost our economy big time, and those costs are rising.”
Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer has said that the costs associated with reimbursing provinces and territories for natural disaster relief costs have increased by 660 per cent between 1970 and 2014, to an average annual cost of $410 million. The cost from extreme events between 2000 and 2017 exceeds $28 billion.
“These estimates are overwhelmingly conservative given the inability to account for losses of life and homes, and the impacts on our consequent physical and mental health,” said Sandford. “Together, all of these issues conspire to threaten Canada’s own water sustainability.”
The authors based their findings on an analysis of recent reports related to SDG targets, progress, and national and international challenges, along with GWF project reports and activities. With 39 GWF water research projects being conducted by hundreds of researchers from 18 universities across Canada, the report is a research-focussed look at the country’s current standing as it relates to the U.N.’s SDGs to date.
“There are significant long-term benefits at stake, including the enhanced health and wellbeing of current and future generations, as well as expanded economic opportunity,” said Schuster-Wallace.
“Ultimately, we have an opportunity beginning at the community level to help create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world for all. The alternative is, quite simply, unthinkable.”

Dear GWF investigators, researchers, students, partners, stakeholders, and friends,
Global Water Futures (GWF) has just reached three years since its launch in September 2016. As 2019 has brought us exceptionally extreme impacts of climate change and developmental impacts on water, it is a good time to take stock of recent progress in GWF and our plans for the future. The tremendous skill, excitement, determination and drive of GWF researchers is certainly needed as Canada and the world grapple with a global water crisis. The coupled climate and water crises threaten the very fabric of our society and the integrity of our ecosystems.
Dr. John Pomeroy speaking at the Water Security for Canadians Workshop in Ottawa
Addressing these interlinked crises means that we need to solve water problems using novel approaches that draw upon both western science and traditional knowledge. To this end, GWF has six newly active Indigenous community water research projects, each of which was co-created and is co-led by an Indigenous investigator and a GWF university co-principal investigator. Adding to GWF’s 39 science projects and six core teams are several new Affiliated Projects from across Canada and around the world that bring greater strength and diversity to GWF. All are warmly welcomed.
Our remarkable 425-page Annual Progress Report is now complete and online – a big thank you to the GWF Secretariat led by Dr. Phani Adapa in producing this remarkable report and to all of you for contributing material for it. GWF continues to be the largest and most highly-cited water research program in the world. Over the past year, GWF members published 314 peer-reviewed journal articles, delivered 607 conference presentations, presented 192 invited, plenary and keynote lectures, published six books and book chapters, and published 54 other articles. In addition, 44 graduate and undergraduate theses were completed during this period. This is a superb record of research achievement and dissemination of scientific information across the world.
GWF has three formal seminar series as well as ad hoc seminars at the four partner universities – they are videoed and made available to the broader GWF community. Presented by the USask Global Institute for Water Security, The Distinguished Lecture Series is running now through October on Wednesday afternoons, bringing in top lecturers on breakthroughs in water security research. The Women and Water Lecture Series, in collaboration with the GWF Young Professionals group, will continue to inspire all scientists and promote greater gender equity in science. The second season of the Women and Water Lecture Series will run again this winter. Both of these series are recorded and broadcast live to all GWF researchers. The Knowledge Mobilization Webinar Series is running now and shares examples of successful initiatives in action, and discusses and troubleshoots common challenges that arise in KM across GWF.

The GWF 2nd Annual Science Meeting in Saskatoon was attended by 600 people
GWF benefits greatly from the GWF Young Professionals who stimulate the interaction, inclusion and participation of students and early career researchers in a variety of activities. An upcoming event that the GWF YP are helping to organise is the McMaster Water Week Research Showcase for Nov. 1. Such an event is highly recommended and reflects well on the students and faculty at McMaster for showing such water leadership.
On Mar. 22, GWF and the GWF YP helped to organize World Water Day events under the theme of “Leaving No One Behind” in Saskatoon, Waterloo, Hamilton and Canmore to celebrate the start of the seasonal acceleration of the hydrological cycle and to review water research at our institutions. USask’s Jay Famiglietti extended this to Washington, DC by contributing a keynote for events at the Pew Center. Congratulations on such (inter)national reach on World Water Day.
GWF partnered with the Forum for Leadership on Water, the Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources, the POLIS Program on Ecological Governance and the UN University to convene a national discussion on water security at the Rideau Club in Ottawa on April 11th – Water Security for Canadians: Solutions for Canada’s Water Crisis. This event brought together water and climate scientists, policy experts, legislators, and water decision rightsholders and stakeholders. Panelists discussed the scientific evidence of the worsening water sustainability and climate-related water crisis in Canada, and the science and policy solutions needed to adapt to the new climate and water realities across the country. The discussion explored how to create a better, safer and more secure water world for ourselves and for our children, while positioning Canada as an international leader in global water security.
The GWF 2nd Annual Open Science Meeting in May in Saskatoon was a great success with close to 600 attendees, making it one of the largest water science meetings in Canadian history. Part of that meeting was at the spectacular and historic Wanuskewin Heritage Park where we learned about Indigenous water issues and engaged in cultural learning activities. Three keynotes from USA, UK and Germany on water and climate, ecosystems and water quality, and human dimensions, keynote talks from Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, President David Grimes of the World Meteorological Organisation, and Scott White, editor of The Conversationand a public talk by Professor Helen Baulch on Prairie water issues and challenges provided excellent, high level plenary sessions for the meeting. There were superbly run parallel sessions, poster sessions, lightening talks and opportunities for networking that showed the great advances being made in GWF, especially by our young professionals.

GWF Artist in Residence Gennadiy Ivanov at Peyto Glacier, Banff
This summer, exhibitions of science and art reflecting some of GWF’s science and observatories were held in England and Belarus. “Transitions” is a transdisciplinary collaboration of GWF with UK-based artist Gennadiy Ivanov and Professor Trevor Davies (Univ. of East Anglia) . So far the project has focused on GWF sites in western and northern Canada. A magazine describing some of Mr. Ivanov’s first set of photographs, sketches, and paintings can be found here. Our hope is that this collaboration can take the science message from GWF and convey it in ways not possible with graphs and scientific papers. If you would like to collaborate on this project please contact me.
As I write this, a team from the GWF Strategic Management Committee is in Bengaluru, India for Future Earth’s WaterFuture Conference “Towards a Sustainable Water Future” of which GWF is a partner. We are providing a session on “Climate Impacts on Global Mountain Water Security”, several talks on knowledge mobilization and sustainable development goals and water and a plenary talk on “Losing our Cool: Water Predictions for the Warming Cold Regions”. We intend to work with scientists from India and elsewhere to promote global water security and help to address the acute water crisis that is evolving in the Indian sub-continent. Next are our scientific contributions to the World Meteorological Organisation for its High Mountain Summit in Geneva later in October and the Arctic Earth Systems Modelling Workshop in Reykjavik, later in November.
It is an honour to be involved with such talented and brilliant scientists, to have strong support from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund and our funding partners and to have such superb administrative and institutional support that keeps GWF running. GWF has become a remarkable, unprecedented movement that is working out the very challenging solutions for the water crisis, both at home and abroad. We need to “keep going” to show how humanity can improve its water future. The need for this has never been greater.

NORWICH - What does climate change look like?
For U.K.-based artist Gennadiy Ivanov, answering that question has become part of his life’s work.
Ivanov said he was Inspired to create after a series of expeditions and collaborations with two renowned climate scientists, where they traveled to the shrinking home of the polar bear, the receding landscape of large glaciers, even the melting ground where permafrost once existed.
“I’m trying to find my own approach to communicate this change with the public,” said Ivanov, an accomplished artist who grew up in Belarus and now makes his home in Norwich. “I wanted to connect with scientists to do it the right way and to see what they were seeing.”
It was his connection with Dr. Trevor Davies, professor emeritus with the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, and Dr. John Pomeroy, director of the Global Water Futures program and Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change at the University of Saskatchewan, that led Ivanov on a journey to see some of the most extreme examples of climate change, both at home and abroad.
“I believe that I can start an effective dialogue on the subject through an exhibition of paintings,” said Ivanov. “I am now producing on an iconic symbol of the Earth system’s vulnerability to climate change. I see this vulnerability close to my home in East Anglia. I see it in Canada.”
Davies and Ivanov examined the nearby Norfolk coastline – where erosion and rising water levels are having a profound effect.
“It’s important to me that this project has excellent science,” said Davies. “Ivanov sees science in a visual way, and where we live now there are big floods and a lot of coastal erosion. The change is clear, and Ivanov is doing his part to share this story through art. It’s really incredible.”
Ivanov accompanied Pomeroy on a cross-Canada expedition in the spring of 2019 to see the effect climate change is having on colder regions.
During the expedition, Ivanov visited renowned research sites where he saw huge mountain glaciers receding at record rates, melting permafrost in Canada’s north where warming is happening three times faster than the global average, and a research site at Wolf Creek in the Yukon Territory where snow was melting earlier than ever before.
“The snow at Wolf Creek has never melted before April, and we have records going back to the early 1900s,” said Pomeroy of the site. “It’s incredible how fast everything is changing.”
Pomeroy was delighted to have Ivanov reach out to him in an attempt to find new ways to communicate with the public. He said watching Ivanov create sketches, paintings, videos and even music on the nature of climate change has been inspiring.
“Art is such a powerful way to show the world what is happening,” said Pomeroy. “As a scientist, I am always looking for new ways to share research, and what he has created is beautiful and terrifying – a great conversation starter.”
Through July 29, Ivanov’s interpretations through art are on display at The Hostry, Norwich Cathedral in an exhibit entitled Climate Change: Impacts in Norfolk and Canada. Davies, Pomeroy and Ivanov will all be in attendance at the gallery and available for interviews between July 17 – 18.

Further information:
North Norfolk recently declared a climate emergency; quickly followed closely by the House of Commons. This is hot on the heels of the first phase of an exciting Norfolk project to increase public
engagement by fusing art with the science of climate change.
Norfolk artist Gennadiy Ivanov and Trevor Davies, former Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Director of the Climatic Research Unit at UEA, have combined to represent aspects of climate change
and its impacts in visual art in order to increase awareness in a wider section of people. They have just returned from Canada, a country which is amongst those most greatly affected by climate
change.
Gennadiy Ivanov had already produced paintings related to sea-level rise and coastal erosion in Norfolk when he approached Professor Davies, who says “I was impressed by Gennadiy’s paintings.
He interpreted and visualized coastal erosion in a way which I found striking, and I thought that his impressionistic images could have a wider impact”.
From Gennadiy Ivanov’s perspective, he knew that Norwich was a hot-bed of climate research and wanted advice on how best to develop his work in the climate change theme. “Professor Davies
explained the principles of climate change and its impacts and convinced me that, together, we could produce a real fusion of science and art in this project. Everyone we spoke to in Norfolk was
enthused by the project, including those who had experience of art in education as a means of getting over a story to those who might not otherwise be interested”.
The real breakthrough came when Professor Davies contacted a colleague in Canada, Professor John Pomeroy, who had spent time at UEA in the 1990s, and with whom co-operation had since
continued. Professor Davies explained that “John is Director of a very effective and important research project in Canada called Global Water Futures (GWF). It is addressing the major climate
change related events which Canada is experiencing: more severe floods, droughts, fires, recession of snow and ice-cover, and perma-frost melting. I felt that witnessing the impacts of these changes
in landscapes which were very different to those in Norfolk could give scope Gennadiy to produce even more striking pictures”.
The two have just returned from a research trip in Canada in which Gennadiy Ivanov was able to join in GWF activities at a number of research sites in the Yukon, North West Territories, and the Rockies
in Alberta. He says “I am very grateful for GWF support and feel enormously privileged to have witnessed the incredibly hard work put in by the scientists, involving sophisticated instrumentation
in remote and difficult terrain. Sometimes the only way in was by helicopter or ski-plane. It made me realise the effort put in by scientists to understand and the effects of climate change and that
Trevor Davies and group member Gennadiy V. Ivanov gave an illustrated talk to a packed room about their recent Science/Art project - Transitions, addressing the subject of global, and local, climate change.
Alan Waters, Leader of Norwich City Council, thanks the speakers and highlights local initiatives with a Norwich 2040 vision.
Art works created by Gennadiy V. Ivanov during the trip to Canada and since will be on show in the Hostry, Norwich Cathedral, from 18 June - 28 July 2019.
We are pleased that Trevor Davies and group member Gennadiy Ivanov are to give an illustrated talk about their recent Science/Art project – Transitions, addressing the subject of global, and local, climate change.
Please do arrive in time for the 7.30pm start to ensure you secure a seat!

Further information:
North Norfolk recently declared a climate emergency; quickly followed closely by the House of Commons. This is hot on the heels of the first phase of an exciting Norfolk project to increase public
engagement by fusing art with the science of climate change.
Norfolk artist Gennadiy Ivanov and Trevor Davies, former Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Director of the Climatic Research Unit at UEA, have combined to represent aspects of climate change
and its impacts in visual art in order to increase awareness in a wider section of people. They have just returned from Canada, a country which is amongst those most greatly affected by climate
change.
Gennadiy Ivanov had already produced paintings related to sea-level rise and coastal erosion in Norfolk when he approached Professor Davies, who says “I was impressed by Gennadiy’s paintings.
He interpreted and visualized coastal erosion in a way which I found striking, and I thought that his impressionistic images could have a wider impact”.

- sometimes it is necessary for them to use modes of transportation which emit global warming gases in order to better prepare us for the future”.
Gennadiy's paintings more between the territories of dominate culture, popular, culture and subcultures. He is interested in how people define themselves, and in how identity is constructed and manifested publicly. Gennadiy’s works have more to do with action and theatrics, creative active pieces that often last for only a short period of time. His rhetoric has an understand effects, with a bit of black humor tossed in discreetly to lighten the final ensemble.Gennady interrogates the history of late modernism and its relationship to technology and commodities, through a critical appropriation of painterly strategies. Gennadiy’s pictures often feature models and actresses posing seductively, painted over seemingly incongruous backgrounds that recall the willful distortion of figure- ground relation of David Salle or the nebulous layering found in Francis Picabia’s works. In Gennady’s work, a painting is revealed as a lousy medium in the age of mechanical reproduction, painfully slower and less accurate than, say, computer scanning, photography, even illustration. His paintings are literally demonstrating how much painting as lost since Duchamp still bothered to paint. With Gennady, painting is far from renewed but quite the contrary: revealed as the old goat in really is. Painting is decrepit, losing the battle with its younger, sexier competitors: high-resolution, high- gloss image spilling out from magazines, the internet, movies, data banks, the whole highway of digital imagery. Poor old paintings requiring weeks, if not month-rather then mini seconds-to complete a single image, how obsolete, how embarrassing! And the painter becomes a kind of ancient laborer, stained and dirty, toiling away like a peasant still moving his pathetic bit of land alongside acres of industrialized agriculture. For this reason Gennady tends to choose nostalgic historic, mythological, philosophic imagery. And then painting is not made to play the role of the elderly-dull-wit; Gena has in play the clown.

Три в одном в бобруйском театре: выставка художника Геннадия Иванова, концерт «SKYNET» и Эдвина Поупа
Три в одном в бобруйском театре: выставка художника Геннадия Иванова, концерт «SKYNET» и Эдвина Поупа
Выставка художника Геннадия Иванова, приехавшего навестить Бобруйск из Туманного Альбиона, концерт бобруйской музыкальной группы «SKYNET» с программой «Атлантида» и выступление британского саксофониста Эдвина Поупа – такими были три основные составляющие творческого вечера 17 мая в театре имени Дунина Марцинкевича.
Гости знакомились с пастелями, фоторепродукциями работ известного художника, побывавшего с научной экспедицией в арктических широтах Канады, дружно аплодировали виртуозно исполненным композициям Эдвина Поупа и группы «SKYNET». А еще счастливчики из зрительного зала получили приятные подарки от артистов – альбомы, майки с логотипом и буклеты.
Шутки со сцены, чарующие звуки саксофона, знакомые многим бобруйчанам скайнетовские песни «Герда» и «Каханая»… А в итоге зрители зарядились прекрасным настроением на весь пятничный вечер и, пожалуй, на весь уик-энд.
Тем же вечером состоялось и небольшое интервью «Коммерческого» с музыкантом из Великобритании. Молодой британский гость рассказал, что родился и вырос в небольшом городке Борнмуте, расположенном на юге Англии. Его отец был любителем играть на барабанах, так с раннего детства Эдвин и рос под отцовские композиции. А затем было музыкальное отделение в школе, учеба в университете Ливерпуля.
Как оценивает сам Эдвин, его карьера сейчас стремительно идет на взлет. Живет в Лондоне, выступает там в пабах. Выступал на концертных площадках во многих странах: Ирландии, Нидерландах, Дании, Франции, Хорватии, Бельгии, уже дважды побывал в Беларуси.
- Моя самая большая аудитория, - рассказывает Эдвин Поуп, - перед которой довелось играть и петь, составляла около 55 тысяч человек. Это был незабываемый концерт в доках Ливерпуля. Но мне доставляет большое удовольствие выходить на сцену и в небольших залах с публикой, которая ценит мою музыку. К примеру, как в Бобруйске.
По словам Эдвина, он считает себя романтиком, но романтиком другого типа, не в традиционном понимании этого слова. Если он захочет сделать кому-то приятное, то предпочтет не дарить цветы, а сделает презент в виде билета на концерт или путешествие, оплаченной брони отеля.
Ему нравится быть в артистической среде, среди музыкантов, художников, танцоров.
- Это те люди, которые меня отлично понимают. Ведь кроме игры на саксофоне, я люблю в парках Лондона рисовать граффити и носить прикольные вещи. Если надеваю носки, то они с забавными птичками.
- Что у музыканта в ближайших планах после выступления в Бобруйске?
- Планирую, что это будет музыкальное турне, которое начнется в сентябре. Серия выступлений в европейских городах, а затем к декабрю начнутся концерты в Америке.
Как заметили зрители на концерте в Бобруйске, в словарном запасе Эдвина есть слова на русском: привет и спасибо. А еще он говорил, что любит бобруйских зрителей. Когда у него уточнили, всегда ли и всем ли зрителям он так говорит, в ответе Эдвин был краток: «Да»! И в его искренности нельзя усомниться.

Геннадий Иванов, группа SKYNET, Эдвин Поуп и проблемы Арктики 15 May 2019
Не перестаю удивляться нашим бобруйчанам, которые, даже проживая далеко за пределами Беларуси, по-прежнему остаются самыми активными участниками жизни нашего города. Не забывают Бобруйск, постоянно открывают для себя и окружающих что-то новое. И знакомят всех нас со своими открытиями. К примеру, Геннадий Иванов, известный художник, много лет проживающий в британском Норвиче. Мы знаем его как талантливого творческого человека, автора многочисленных картин, организатора художественных выставок как в Британии так и в родном Бобруйске, автора книг, пробующего себя в различных литературных жанрах. Но теперь мы можем увидеть Геннадия Иванова и в новом ракурсе! Вместе с учеными-климатологами он занялся изучением мировых экологических проблем! С международной экспедицией климатологов в апреле 2019 года Геннадий Иванов совершил путешествие в арктические широты Канады.
С результатами участия в этой экспедиции, конечно же, Геннадий Иванов захотел познакомить земляков и британцев. Так родилась идея двух художественных выставок: первая откроется 17 мая в Бобруйске в городском театре имени Дунина-Марцинкевича, вторая состоится 19 июня в Великобритании в Норвиче.
Для бобруйчан Геннадий Иванов готовит и дополнительный сюрприз: выступление на бобруйской сцене вместе с коллективом SKYNET британского музыканта Эдвина Поупа. Кстати, Бобруйск и бобруйскую сцену Эдвин Поуп открыл для себя также с помощью нашего земляка Геннадия Иванова.
- Эта задумка мероприятия в театре - соединить воедино три составляющие: творчество художника, творчество музыкантов и результаты исследования ученых - рассказывает Геннадий Иванов. - А главная цель - привлечь общественность к проблемам изменения климата на Земле, поиску решений выхода из экологического кризиса.
По словам Геннадия, он постарался с помощью пастели и бумаги рассказать о невероятно красивом волшебном арктическом мире. Той Арктике, где луна отражается в ледниках, белые полярные медведи разгуливают по льдинам, на снегу можно обнаружить сияющее холодное синее яйцо арктической птицы, а в небе плавают голубые айсберги. Но самое важное - не в красотах природы!
- Арктика сейчас стала полем битвы транснациональных компаний, - обращает наше внимание художник. - Никто не задумывается, какой катастрофой может обернуться эксплуатация этого удивительно прекрасного и, к тому же, безусловно, хрупкого полярного мира.
Экспедиция была организована британским восточно-английским университетом с университетами по изучению воды и климата в Канаде. Увы, таяние арктических ледников, даже небольшое исчезновение снежного покрова на полюсах влечет за собой неисчислимые беды человечеству: наводнения, тайфуны и засухи в средних широтах. Летние пожары, ледяной дождь зимой, миллионы сломанных деревьев – все это звенья одной цепи, отголосок гибнущей Арктики.
Исследовательская экспедиция работала в Юконе, Северо-Западных территориях и Скалистых горах в Альберте. Члены экспедиции проделали невероятно тяжелую работу в отдаленной и труднодоступной местности. Иногда единственным возможным средством передвижения были только вертолет или лыжный самолет.
- Я горжусь тем, что был рядом с учеными в такие важные моменты. Конечно, художники не смогут остановить ход жизни и закрыть программу по «утилизации» Арктики. Но мы можем обратить внимание людей на эту проблему, - считает Геннадий Иванов. – А для этого искусство и наука должны объединяться. Чтобы через творчество художников донести до общественности выводы ученых и их предостережения.

5 октября ГУО «Детская школа искусств №1 им. Е.К.Тикоцкого г. Бобруйска» посетил известный бобруйский художник, проживающий в Англии, Геннадий Иванов.
Целью визита нашего земляка было представление своих картин, которые он передал в дар школе.
В картинах проиллюстрированы известные места Бобруйска: улица Пролетарская, Бобруйская крепость, река Березина. На некоторых картинах изображены пейзажи мест из зарубежных стран.
Самая большая картина презентации – «Мечта бабочки». Всего было представлено семь работ, все они стали собственностью и достоянием школы.
Мероприятие закончилось концертом учащихся и учителей школы, который получил высокую оценку нашего выдающегося земляка.

Лавандовое сердце.
16:27. 05.09.2018 У бассейна в провансе в Сан Реми Мистраль шептался с кипарисом, Срывал инжир, И в темноту- Я уносился быстро- быстро Я засыпал, я пел одну, Одну забытую сонату, Я целовал луну и звал, Тебя ушедшую куда-то В далекий край… Так опоздал… Я опоздал пропеть о море, Я опоздал открыть рассвет. Стою в лавандовом я поле Руками ветра обогрет. А ты несешь в себе прохладу: Усталость, грусть и тишину. Лавандовое сердце… Я балладу Тебе о прошлом пропою. |
Monday. 3.09.2018. St Remy de provence. France. У бассейна. Окутан тишиной, прохладою бассейна; Здесь олеандра запах проплывал по мне, А ветер с кипарисом испросил прощенья, Он сладкий сон, мечты раскрыл тебе. И в синих далях Альп: Забытые мотивы- Седыми струйками живительных дождей, Втекают в вены,словно непокрытые, Таинственные звуки сладостных огней. А волосы напитаны лавандою А тело источает жар, ваниль и розмарин И жду я вечера, и жду прохладного Вина, сыров, оливок и маслин. РАССВЕТ. Утро в Провансе. 11:07. 07.09.2018 Сан Реми де прованс. Окутал кипарисы Оранжевый рассвет. Целует ветер ирисы, И говорит: Привет. В лилово-сизой дымке Мне виден силуэт- Художник и палитра, Проснувшийся поэт. Я зацелован дремой, Разбужен песней птиц, И будто бы ведомый Я хороводом жриц. |

Над землёю шагает страх,
Напоённый тоской и болью...
Держат люди в усталых руках
Хлеб, посыпанный серой солью.
Ты безумным его не зови ---
Это слово нелепо и глухо.
Всё, что мог, он отдал любви,
И зачем-то отрезал ухо.
Знай, безумные всех времён
Угловато и неумело
Отдавали еду и сон
И на пламя ложились телом..
И смотрели в глаза любви...
Был их путь одинок и страшен,
Ты безумными их не зови ---
Их безумием мир украшен.

Сан Реми. Прованс , Франция. После посещения старого дома в Сан Реми, где 12 лет я рисовал. 20.05.2015, 16:18
Забытый дом.
Прибита старая картина ...
На стенке
Восседает моль.
В углу античность у камина
И кукла старая 'играет' роль.
Остатки провансальской пыли
Смешались с сыром,
На столе
Керамика отбита,
И не были
Мы здесь давным-давно уже.
Дыша учтивым, томным многолетием,
Лавандовым и винным "фрагрансэ", (парфюмерный аромат-фр.)
Дом издавал все звуки междометием,
Прохладой зазывал меня к себе.
Окутан сказочным воспоминанием,
Опутан дребезжанием стекла.
Я сделал запись в книге из желаний,
Набросок жизни и всего-всего себя.
Мои пастели, краски, кисти
Соскучились по теплоте моей руки.
Светильник грустно 'взглядом' покосился,
Заждался, чтоб всех осветить.
Светить
В мои ночные страсти
Подслушивать Ван Гога голоса.
Уберегая от усталости, напастей...
Пошел гулять я по Провансу...
Всем пока.
Над землёю шагает страх,
Напоённый тоской и болью...
Держат люди в усталых руках
Хлеб, посыпанный серой солью.
Ты безумным его не зови ---
Это слово нелепо и глухо.
Всё, что мог, он отдал любви,
И зачем-то отрезал ухо.
Знай, безумные всех времён
Угловато и неумело
Отдавали еду и сон
И на пламя ложились телом..
И смотрели в глаза любви...
Был их путь одинок и страшен,
Ты безумными их не зови ---
Их безумием мир украшен.

Сан Реми. Прованс , Франция. После посещения старого дома в Сан Реми, где 12 лет я рисовал. 20.05.2015, 16:18
Забытый дом.
Прибита старая картина ...
На стенке
Восседает моль.
В углу античность у камина
И кукла старая 'играет' роль.
Остатки провансальской пыли
Смешались с сыром,
На столе
Керамика отбита,
И не были
Мы здесь давным-давно уже.
Дыша учтивым, томным многолетием,
Лавандовым и винным "фрагрансэ", (парфюмерный аромат-фр.)
Дом издавал все звуки междометием,
Прохладой зазывал меня к себе.
Окутан сказочным воспоминанием,
Опутан дребезжанием стекла.
Я сделал запись в книге из желаний,
Набросок жизни и всего-всего себя.
Мои пастели, краски, кисти
Соскучились по теплоте моей руки.
Светильник грустно 'взглядом' покосился,
Заждался, чтоб всех осветить.
Светить
В мои ночные страсти
Подслушивать Ван Гога голоса.
Уберегая от усталости, напастей...
Пошел гулять я по Провансу...
Всем пока.

По дороге в аэропорт Пизы из Ла Специи. Лигурия. Италия.
За вдохновенной лирикой волны,
За шумным шорохом прибрежья,
И у осколков тишины
Присел,
Я думаю....
Видения
Возникли солнечным ручьем.
На серебристых волнах скачет,
Кораблик детства.
И огнем
Пронзает молодость.
Иначе-
Сейчас на мир я посмотрел,
Прочел совсем другие книги.
Лорд Байрон, Шилле, Блок воспел
Италии всю страсть и вина.
А уличная флейта плачет.
Араб пристал,
и продает,
Качающиеся яхты, мачты
В мой день рождения полет.
10:19
Воспеть мне Италию надо!
Успеть это в жизни хочу. ..
Мы мчимся по via Prado,
Вдыхая муссонов мечту.
И синее небо Лигурии,
Ультрамарином волна
Доводит меня до 'абсурдии';
Сжигаю 'пастельно' себя.
Пронизанный цитрусом винным,
На память читая стихи.
И стоя над горным обрывом,
Я Байрона видел.
В те дни:
Мы были в объятьях истомы,
Вином мы поили себя,
Нам дикие танцы знакомы.
Все, поздно.
Накрыла волна.
О страстный мальчишка и дева!
Зачем мы устали в ночи?
Укрытые ночью и негой.
Ушедшие годы мои.

Портовенере. Февраль 3-02-2016.
Я упустить тебя хотел из вида, дали...
Мысли....
Я пропустить хотел тебя в себе,
Как солнечный закат.
Окинувши я одиноким взором выси.
Забыл совсем я посмотреть назад.
Мы в арках тишины больших окон античных,
Под чаек стон и ветра грозный ,уходящий крик,
Несем души поющие порывы,
Рисунок жизни, расставаний миг.
Февральский ветер поиграет снова,
Разбудит белокурых гладь твоих волос.
И мы гуляем по пустынным барам, гротам.
Февраль-февраль:
На побережье дождь.
Наш зонт из рук игриво ускользает.
Мы поднимаем очи к серым облакам.
За нами чайки с неба наблюдают
Здесь Портовенере , здесь Байрон.
Мне холодно - пока!
Нам одинокий бармен вслед заулыбался.
Спустился к глади моря-
Холодно, зима...
В Италии природа тоже отдыхает,
Заснет на пару месяцев...
Но Весна!
Вот-вот придет совсем к вам скоро,
Вот-вот осушит слезы,
Полные вина,
Нальют бокал друзья, и тихие восходы,
Встречать приеду я к тебе,
Наверно , Навсегда.

ХЛЕБА И ЗРЕЛИЩ.
Как говорил древнеримский поэт-сатирик Ювенал:
«Этот народ уж давно ...все заботы забыл, и Рим, что когда-то
Всё раздавал: легионы, и власть, и ликторов связки,
Сдержан теперь и о двух лишь вещах беспокойно мечтает:
Хлеба и зрелищ!»
ХЛЕБА И ЗРЕЛИЩ
19.05.2016. 21:12 Рим, Италия.
Я так и знал!
Я чувствовал все это:
Стоял в тиши под сводом Микеланджело работ.
А легион и Рим все воевал с Венето,
И забирал себе все сладости.
Забот...
Так мало власти, силы и отчаянья ,
Так много страсти , одиночества, любви.
И завернув за угол темноты ,
нечаянно,
Увидел Рафаэля ...
Голые мечты.
И сквозь века и сквозь пронзенные столетия,
Струится кровь по жилам Рима городским.
И сколько б Ватикану злата мир не взвешивал,
Он никогда не будет полностью сытым.
А буду ль я, уставший путник города и мира,
Напоен, сыт, омыт, усыновлен?
Я жду тебя в холстах, моя звезда, моя Багира,
В своих картинах зрелищ-
Ослеплен огнем.
Я больше не смогу быть выше бога,
Я больше не рожден для хлеба и любви.
Волчица Римская спасет меня,
Не трогай
Не трогай мои хлебо-зрелищные дни!
+27 СЕГОДНЯ В РИМЕ
10:30, 21.05.2016
Плюс двадцать семь сегодня в Риме.
Тону в жасминовых и розовых цветах.
Нас жаждет жаркий день и множество открытый,
Античный Колизей , уснувший в шелковых ветрах.
КОЛИЗЕЙ. РИМ
18:40 Colosseum. Roma.
Надрывный стон и крики гладиатора,
Зубовный скрежет на шее раба.
И восхищенный возглас Флавия-
Застыли в Колизее на века.
Здесь умирали львы, быки и люди,
На радость страждущей толпы.
Фонтан кровавый бил из грудей
Мешаясь с винами.
Шуты
Со свистом , пляской.
Обожженные
Под Римским солнцем.
Все рабы
Мечтали быть быком убитые.
Здесь эта легче смерть-увы!

Расписанный 'предреволюционный' поезд.
С поющим гитаристом Дольче вита*.
Оставили античный римский город,
Но в прошлое дорога нам закрыта.
А Примавера** бродит по Италии,
И ходит в гости к императорским дворам.
И гладиаторы безрукие-безликие
Забытые в музеях.
Шепчут нам
Колеса поезда: расписанные граффити
Уткнулись парни-девушки в айфон***
И в этом одиночестве вы не найдете Риччи****,
А только Повери***** мечтают об одном.
О том , как завтра едут в Ламборджини ******
За грудой разного фасонного тряпья.
Перед глазами манекены и витрины,
Ночной Италии , горячечного сна.

ДЕНЬГИ
12:20, 22.05.2016. Fiumicino airport. Italy
Заройте ваши сольди*
На поле римском, дураков.
Базилио-Алиса бродят,
Здесь ловят жадных простаков.
Мы обмануться очень любим,
Мы верим в странные слова,
Деньгами души свои губим,
Реклама сводит нас с ума.
Но Буратино был не глупым,
И сольди бережно хранил.
Для папы Карло и Мальвины
Он к счастью ключики купил.
Заройте ваши сольди,
Упрячьте в Банки и носки.
Базилио-Алисы бродят,
И просят вас 'включить' мозги.
Потратить все с умом и счастьем,
Купить весь полный порцион.
Но Буратино-хитрый мастер,
Не верит он в гламур-фасон.
Он любит колпачок в полоску,
И пару скучных башмаков,
И не 'морочится' он броским,
Избитым лэйблом у штанов.
Заройте ваши сольди.
Отдайте бедным и больным.
Вы поделитесь сердцем гордым,
И легче станет всем чужим.
Чужим, кто близко иль далеко,
Друзьям, родным, все здесь не зря.
И я прошу не позволяйте
'Обазылять' (обманывать) всю жизнь себя.
О сколько нужно вам для счастья?...
О сколько Буратино б мог!
Открыть ключом дверей несчастным,
Взломать огромный банковский замок.
Заройте ваши сольди...
Soldi (ит.) - деньги.
19:27. 16.05.2016. Лондон, Кенсингтон. По дороге в Рим.
На Лондонские слюдяные крыши,
Спустились голуби воркуя.
И не добраться серой мыши,
Не укусить сыров.
Паркует
Свой мерседес усталый малый.
Оставил за углом заботы.
Он заработал на айфоны,
трусы и пиво...
Больше нет работы...
А за окном танцует лето,
Смеются долговязые антенны.
И голуби следят за каждым бизнесменом,
За парнем с мерседеса, за тем самым.
А вдруг уронит крошку, вдруг конфету?
Мы долетим, подхватим с песней лета!
Исчезнем в норах...
Мыши...
Сыра нету...
Объедки, сигареты,
старые газеты.
Здесь блеск и нищета-
Из века в век и год за годом.
Вся жизнь мигранта-обойти законы.
И старые айфоны кто-то носит по карманам,
И ест объедки, лишь бы БЫТЬ.....
С позором,
Усталостью и одинокой долей,
Смотрю в окно на слюдяные крыши.
А голуби воркуют , ловят крошки.
И я ,как мышь, кормлюсь из деревянной ложки.
Из ложки, с мусорного бака
Черпаю я забытые апрели.
А мама говорила мне когда-то,
Что будешь вспоминать меня,
Поверь мне.
А голуби воркуют, думают, что смогут
Поймать меня с утраченным куском.
Но сам сегодня я не ел: клянусь я богом!
Зато с айфоном , в мерседесе я крутом.

По дороге в Уэльс.
15.07.2016. 15:26. Near Chester.
По горам, по долинам,
По просторам летим.
Не подвластны мы ливням,
И не чувствуем зим.
Нам не ведома скука.
Мы собрались в кулак.
И засунули му'ку
В старомодный пиджак.
Сноудония. 17:50. По дороге в Норфолк 18.07.2016
Усталая тучка лежит отдыхает
В ущельях Уэльса, в горах Пендрагона.
Валлийскую песню пастух напевает,
Гоняют овечек собаки покорно.
Сребрят, освежают долину озера,
Под шум водопадов прохладой искрят
И мама давно про Кинга Артура,
Мне в детстве читала все сказки подряд.

Бали
У Индийского океана. В каком-то кафе. Пляж ЭХО. Echo beach.
13:00, 28.10.2016
ПЛЯЖИ ЭХО.
Шум волн достигает границ,
Прозрачных небес.
Отражения...
Уносит за серфером птиц,
В полете на волнах.
Движением...
Горячий черный песок.
Согреет мне сердце вулканов.
А серфер, как с жизнью игрок,
По волнам скользит.
Утопая...
Покрытый соленым песком
С волною играет во благо...
Сижу я в кафе жарким днем,
Рисуя мечты на бумаге.
Мне нравится запах волны,
Захвачен я бурным потоком.
Закончились жаркие дни
Во мне,
Замереть бы....
Потом все...
13:30.
Пляжи Эхо. Бали.
БЕЗ НАЗВАНИЯ
Ушел-
Покинул все.
В прыжок,
В поток, по побережью...
Бегу,
Сшибаясь снова с ног
Я всех, я все, себя
Мечусь,
Весь день, как прежде.
Я быстро устаю,
Завися от баланса,
Теряю все,
И не могу
Сосредоточится на гневном танце.
На танце,
На прыжке,
На диске
Кручусь как в колесе,
Я быстро.
Искрой
Огнем
Опален, опечален,
Сжат
Я день за днем,
Убитый как солдат.
Бали. 09:42, 28.10.2016
НА ТЕРРАСЕ
Нырнув в прохладу бирюзового бассейна,
Оставил мысли я под пальмовым листом.
Балийская жара окутала рассейностью;
Я наливаю чашку с черным кофейком.
Забыв заботы, планы, отреченья,
Вдыхаю ароматы тропиков и роз.
И мне не ведомы все временны^е возмущения,
Совсем устал от ваших опустевших поз.
А синева сияет вулканическим разрезом.
По рисовым террасам медленно брожу.
Мне суетиться здесь совсем уже не к месту,
Здесь жизненный пейзаж:
сижу, его пишу...
По рисовым террасам, с пеньем птиц Гаруда*,
Пересекаю горные Балийские хребты.
Ныряя с аквалангом в океанские запруды
В коралловых я рифах встретил детские мечты.
Задорный взгляд балийского мальчонки,
Был поглощён рисунком местной красоты.
Забыв , что продавал открытки-
И от тонкой
Пастельной линии не смог своих он глаз уж отвести.
Нырнув в прохладу синего бассейна,
Я внутренний пожар души своей гасил.
И иногда мне нравится моя рассеянность.
Холодный кофе на террасе я допил...
*Птица Гаруда (Garuda)-орел, название мифологической птицы-человека в индуистской и буддийской религии.

МОРСКОЙ ДЬЯВОЛ
11:15, 26.10.2016
Морские глубины и дали
Скрывают от нас, чтоб мы взяли
Забытые песни и тайны
Морских кораблей печальных.
Соленой водой обжигая
Ловлю я себя, ныряя.
И за полетом я Манты
Плыву, лечу наблюдая.
По книгам Жюль-Верна мечтал я,
Любимых героев встречал я,
За Дьяволом Моря ныряя,
Я в детство себя возвращаю.

ТРОПИЧЕСКАЯ ЖАРА.
Ночные кошмары забыты.
Тону я в балийской жаре.
Эмоции пальмой убиты,
Цикады засели во мне.
Парил над прохладным бассейном,
Ныряя в бурлящий вулкан.
Был смыт океаном кофейным,
На рисе балийском взрастал.
Упавшим листом я с бамбука,
Рассветный пирог накрывал.
И бегала кошка по кругу.
Голодный комар запищал.
Мне бабочка села на темя,
Мечтая о ярком цветке.
Расплавился в жаркое время
Рисунок пастелью тебе.

СИНЕЕ. 13:17, 22.10.2016.
Хрустящий песок,
Чернотой пронзенный.
На пляже тела,
обволок.
Синевою,
волною
И солью.
Такое все секси, такие все -ах!
Все серферы* с досками -просто 'жах'!
По морю , на волнах
По жизни, с удачей,
с деньгами...
А может без них...
Мы хиппи, мы синее море
Мы Силвер квик**(Silver Quick).
Ныряем мы рыбой,
Мы в синее,
Синим,
По-синему, голубому...
Клубимся по ночи.
Мы тонем в оранжевом.
Мы тонем в закате,
Мы в юности, с силой.
На досках в полете, в волне
По соли , по волнам,
По черным горячим пескам
С Коктоу Твинсе (Choctaw Twins)*** на устах
По Волнам....
По Бали.

ЗАСТЫВШИЕ БОГИ
Застывшие боги...
Палящего солнца агат...
И Балинезские слоги
Оранжевый шепчет закат.
Мне бог обезьяна и тигр!
Мне счастья пророчил дракон.
Застывшие боги...
И Слоги !
Из древнего храма пел слон.
Застывшие боги-мангусты
Варили мне кофе Лавак*
И странные райские фрукты
Я ел-пил , словно дурак.
Не зная ни вкуса, ни силы,
Я свежий испил термерик**,
И смешанный с огненным чили***,
Омолодился я в миг.
Во сне я летал над морями.
И явно я плавал по ним.
За храмом Улун Дану****
Весь спектр заката ловил.
Индийское море горячим
Обдало,
черным песком
Покрыло мне ноги.
И зрячим
Из храмов я выходил.
*Лавак (Lawak) кофе-уникальный Балинезский кофе, пропущенное через желудок мангуста, считается самым дорогим кофе. В нем меньше кофеина.не впечатлился вкусом этого кофе.
** Термерик-растение, последние исследования показали , что это растение отлично защищает от рака.
***Чили-очень острый , жгучий перец
****Храм Улун Дану (Pura Ulun Danu Bratan)- известный живописный храм на берегу озера Братан в центре Острова Бали.
Bali. 15:00, 21.10.2016
Шторм на Бали
Пронзительный свист цикад*
Над домом с большим бассейном.
А где-то в океане град,
Промчится над Балийским ветром.
Тропический ливень смоет
Все запахи карри и чили**,
Бездомным собакам бросит
Турист кусочек из гриля.
Короткие штормовые ливни,
Рассе'чены линией света,
Размытые тучами были
Плывущие серферы где-то.
По узким и пыльным дорогам
Лихие мотоциклисты,
Подстегиваемые летним штормом
Увозят английского туриста.
Успел ли он сделать селфи***
С красавицей местной деревни?
Отдал ли холодное сердце,
Горячим штормам ее песен?...
*Цикада-насекомое, издающее пронзительные звуки, похожее на огромную муху.
**Чили (chili)-острые специи.
*** Селфи ( selfie) -фото самого себя.
Bali. Последний день на Бали. Тепло. Раннее утро.
9:30. 29.10.2016
Проснуться утром у прохладного бассейна,
Увидеть отражения в голубой воде.
Поющих птиц, мечты и провиденья,
Услышать сердца стук и вновь сказать себе:
"Ну, что, дружок?
Назад ты к нам из лета,
Летишь на крыльях дней-ночей-времен,
Все райские мечты остались на планете где-то...
В туманный Лондон возвращаюсь я-
Таков закон."
Закон гласит, что все идет по кругу,
Художник может быть творцом только тогда,
Когда природа возлагает свою руку,
И видит силу одинокого борца.
Закон гласит: за все придет расплата-
За боль, обиды, горестей растрат,
За знания, за упорство...
А поезд сновa мчит меня куда-то
В тоннели черные, как в Малевича Квадрат.
У Индийского океана. В каком-то кафе. Пляж ЭХО. Echo beach.
13:00, 28.10.2016
ПЛЯЖИ ЭХО.
Шум волн достигает границ,
Прозрачных небес.
Отражения...
Уносит за серфером птиц,
В полете на волнах.
Движением...
Горячий черный песок.
Согреет мне сердце вулканов.
А серфер, как с жизнью игрок,
По волнам скользит.
Утопая...
Покрытый соленым песком
С волною играет во благо...
Сижу я в кафе жарким днем,
Рисуя мечты на бумаге.
Мне нравится запах волны,
Захвачен я бурным потоком.
Закончились жаркие дни
Во мне,
Замереть бы....
Потом все...
13:30.
Пляжи Эхо. Бали.
БЕЗ НАЗВАНИЯ
Ушел-
Покинул все.
В прыжок,
В поток, по побережью...
Бегу,
Сшибаясь снова с ног
Я всех, я все, себя
Мечусь,
Весь день, как прежде.
Я быстро устаю,
Завися от баланса,
Теряю все,
И не могу
Сосредоточится на гневном танце.
На танце,
На прыжке,
На диске
Кручусь как в колесе,
Я быстро.
Искрой
Огнем
Опален, опечален,
Сжат
Я день за днем,
Убитый как солдат.
Бали. 09:42, 28.10.2016
НА ТЕРРАСЕ
Нырнув в прохладу бирюзового бассейна,
Оставил мысли я под пальмовым листом.
Балийская жара окутала рассейностью;
Я наливаю чашку с черным кофейком.
Забыв заботы, планы, отреченья,
Вдыхаю ароматы тропиков и роз.
И мне не ведомы все временны^е возмущения,
Совсем устал от ваших опустевших поз.
А синева сияет вулканическим разрезом.
По рисовым террасам медленно брожу.
Мне суетиться здесь совсем уже не к месту,
Здесь жизненный пейзаж:
сижу, его пишу...
По рисовым террасам, с пеньем птиц Гаруда*,
Пересекаю горные Балийские хребты.
Ныряя с аквалангом в океанские запруды
В коралловых я рифах встретил детские мечты.
Задорный взгляд балийского мальчонки,
Был поглощён рисунком местной красоты.
Забыв , что продавал открытки-
И от тонкой
Пастельной линии не смог своих он глаз уж отвести.
Нырнув в прохладу синего бассейна,
Я внутренний пожар души своей гасил.
И иногда мне нравится моя рассеянность.
Холодный кофе на террасе я допил...
*Птица Гаруда (Garuda)-орел, название мифологической птицы-человека в индуистской и буддийской религии.

Морские глубины и дали
Скрывают от нас, чтоб мы взяли
Забытые песни и тайны
Морских кораблей печальных.
Соленой водой обжигая
Ловлю я себя, ныряя.
И за полетом я Манты
Плыву, лечу наблюдая.
По книгам Жюль-Верна мечтал я,
Любимых героев встречал я,
За Дьяволом Моря ныряя,
Я в детство себя возвращаю.

ТРОПИЧЕСКАЯ ЖАРА.
Ночные кошмары забыты.
Тону я в балийской жаре.
Эмоции пальмой убиты,
Цикады засели во мне.
Парил над прохладным бассейном,
Ныряя в бурлящий вулкан.
Был смыт океаном кофейным,
На рисе балийском взрастал.
Упавшим листом я с бамбука,
Рассветный пирог накрывал.
И бегала кошка по кругу.
Голодный комар запищал.
Мне бабочка села на темя,
Мечтая о ярком цветке.
Расплавился в жаркое время
Рисунок пастелью тебе.

We are living in a dynamic pattern of emotions, behaviour and energy. Every day, more and more, we are involved in efforts to exist in this technological era. There is a constant flow of energy that is ever shifting, creating a pattern in our life: this is urban, environmental, social, spiritual, psychological and medical. It’s a human pattern, a technological pattern, and a pattern in nature. In which pattern do we exist?

INTERVIEW: Gennadiy Ivanov
Q: You have a wonderful shop and studio space on Upper Saint Giles in Norwich – how does your working space influence how you paint?
A: Yes, this is my open studio, which anyone can enter, talk with me and see how I paint. The space is very important for me and I find it enriches me spiritually. I believe it makes me more open and honest to my buyers. My paintings often get sold fresh from being finished in my studio, much like hot pancakes!
I truly believe in being authentic and having an Open studio allows me to share my process and techniques, with both buyers and fellow artists. I love to share my ideas and the now established ‘East Art fair’ in St Andrews Hall, Norwich, was just this – a gifted idea.
#FEATURED, NORWICH
Posted by BANDONORWICH on JUNE 22, 2017We recently had a Q & A with local artist Gennadiy Ivanov, ahead of his exhibition in our Norwich store in October 2017. We had to book Gena, as he likes to be known, well ahead of time as he is increasingly in high demand, as well as being busy exhibiting all over the city and beyond! He has recently organised ‘The Art of Revolution’ starting in September 2017, which will be an exciting new exhibition featuring regional artists and exploring the significance of cultural heritage. Gena’s artworks have been exhibited widely nationally and he also has numerous paintings in Private Collections all over the world. In our interview, Gena shares his back story and what it is like to be an artist in Norwich:
Q: You have been incredibly prolific as a painter of large scale works … how did you become a fine artist?
A: I have been a painter for 35 years and started to paint at school mainly doing set designs for productions in our school theatre. Later, when I was enrolled in the military service in 1988-1990, I continued to find ways to carry on painting.
I became an official army artist and was engaged in the designing for a whole division, and painted many installations for the army theatre. After leaving the army, I worked in a local folklore museum and as a designer for the local restaurants and cafes in my home city of Belarus.
Q: What would you have most likely have done if your life had taken a different path?
A: I studied psychology and I feel I understand people very well – I can not be easily fooled! I think I would have most likely have become a doctor. I like to help people very much. I find great pleasure in studying and look at art in a wholistic way, but also with microscopic scrutiny.
Q: Tell us about what it is like to live and work as an artist in Norwich?
A: Norwich is a truly inspiring city. It has a Medieval spirit with a feeling of coziness and warmth. There are also aspects which encourage a bohemian life, so it is no wonder that Norwich has such a huge number of artists, musicians, theatres.
In the city in autumn, a beautiful competition PaintOut Norwich, when artists painting and draw the streets of the city. In 2015, I had the Judges Commendation prize. I very often go out into the streets of the city and paint with oil and pastels, or just do sketches of people and streets. There are so many inspiring and impressive places to paint!
Q: How would you describe your style of painting?
I call my style “Spontaneous Realism or Emotionalism”. It is based on objects of human feelings and mixing them with colors. I try to convey emotions through a rich palette of colours. You could say that the question of style was invented by curators and gallery owners. For them its so much easier to sell and define the artist if their style can be easily identified. But many artists find it difficult to determine their style and I believe it is not necessary to do so at all. I never been hung up on style. And since, I’m an artist without a style, it’s hard for many galleries to work with me. But of all the great and celebrated artists of the last century, my favourite of which are Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud, David Hockney, Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso, they all grew, changed, tested themselves and their ideals, and moved forward as a result. As they did they rejected sticking to a particular style and I do not see this as a problem at all. This is the real life of the artist – to constantly search and test oneself and one’s ego. I’m not afraid to do this and will continue do so until the end of my life!
Q: How would you describe our creative process?
A: I am motivated by an interest in many aspects of life which leads to a never -ending creative process. I am deeply interested in tapping into the spirit of the times, or zeitgeist – i.e what is happening in the world, in politics. I am also inspired by the future and the past, both of which constantly stir up my creative process. My revolutionary creative spirit comes from a thirst. Thirst for new knowledge and discoveries. My thirst is also to constantly move and search for an authentic spirit of creativity. I believe there is no growth of consciousness without testing one’s capabilities by taking opportunities to challenge oneself.
Q: Tell us about your latest work?
A: The last 9 months I’ve been working on the project ‘The Art of Revolution’. This is a strong motivator for me. Although all my projects evolve slowly and take 9-12 months to come to fruition. This allows me to work hard and calmly with ideas and my thoughts, as well as with large canvases and installations. I need a lot of time to develop the concepts and consider the use of materials and media so that I can visualise the full picture in my head. Once I have done this the painting itself can be done quickly enough.
The exhibition is dedicated to the 100 years of the October Revolution in Russia, but it will cover the entire stratum of various revolutions, such as the revolution in cinema, design, architecture, food, sex, color revolutions, revolutionary figures of the century, Lenin, Che Guevara, Castro, poetry and music – Malevich, Picasso, Bacon, Mayakovsky, The Beatles and much more.
Q: What have been your most seminal experiences as an artist?
A: In 2011, I won a large mural commission in London at The Fire Station Tooley Street, Southbank, London. It is also a culinary academy. It was incredibly interesting to work with the talented architect Anna Machin. I consistently received excellent feedback on my work from the restaurant.
Last year it was very interesting to work on the commission of a portrait of Bob Davy from Norfolk. Bob Davy was awarded the ‘Order of the British Empire’ by Prince Charles personally for his services to the United Kingdom. He was an excellent model for a portrait in his small church, which he had personally dedicated his whole life to by restoring it as a historical monument. He uncovered ancient paintings under plaster, which were almost destroyed when changed to the Anglican church 400-600 years ago. He was such a wonderfully charming old gentleman with constant jokes which always cheered me up when I did drawings and paintings of him.
I would describe my last Studio Art Project ‘War and Peace’ as one of my most successful Curatorial Shows, not only and not so much for myself, as much as for the 25 artists involved. The exhibition was recognised as one of the best that Norwich had seen for many years. The exhibition was so popular that it was attended by more than 2000 people. I worked with great enthusiasm on the painting ‘War and Peace’ which was a 20 metre long frieze which took 9 months to complete. You can read more about it here: Http://www.studioart.org.uk/war-and-peace-august-2015.html
In 2016, I supervised and also participated in the exhibition of Cambridge artists “Beneath the surface” which received excellent reviews for the outstanding works: Http://www.studioart.org.uk/beneath-the-surface-may-2016.html
Finally, last year I had an exhibition called “Asylum” which in spite of the tragic subject matter, was both highly dramatic and extremely successful:

A: Yes, this is my open studio, which anyone can enter, talk with me and see how I paint. The space is very important for me and I find it enriches me spiritually. I believe it makes me more open and honest to my buyers. My paintings often get sold fresh from being finished in my studio, much like hot pancakes!
I truly believe in being authentic and having an Open studio allows me to share my process and techniques, with both buyers and fellow artists. I love to share my ideas and the now established ‘East Art fair’ in St Andrews Hall, Norwich, was just this – a gifted idea.
#FEATURED, NORWICH
Posted by BANDONORWICH on JUNE 22, 2017We recently had a Q & A with local artist Gennadiy Ivanov, ahead of his exhibition in our Norwich store in October 2017. We had to book Gena, as he likes to be known, well ahead of time as he is increasingly in high demand, as well as being busy exhibiting all over the city and beyond! He has recently organised ‘The Art of Revolution’ starting in September 2017, which will be an exciting new exhibition featuring regional artists and exploring the significance of cultural heritage. Gena’s artworks have been exhibited widely nationally and he also has numerous paintings in Private Collections all over the world. In our interview, Gena shares his back story and what it is like to be an artist in Norwich:
Q: You have been incredibly prolific as a painter of large scale works … how did you become a fine artist?
A: I have been a painter for 35 years and started to paint at school mainly doing set designs for productions in our school theatre. Later, when I was enrolled in the military service in 1988-1990, I continued to find ways to carry on painting.
I became an official army artist and was engaged in the designing for a whole division, and painted many installations for the army theatre. After leaving the army, I worked in a local folklore museum and as a designer for the local restaurants and cafes in my home city of Belarus.
Q: What would you have most likely have done if your life had taken a different path?
A: I studied psychology and I feel I understand people very well – I can not be easily fooled! I think I would have most likely have become a doctor. I like to help people very much. I find great pleasure in studying and look at art in a wholistic way, but also with microscopic scrutiny.
Q: Tell us about what it is like to live and work as an artist in Norwich?
A: Norwich is a truly inspiring city. It has a Medieval spirit with a feeling of coziness and warmth. There are also aspects which encourage a bohemian life, so it is no wonder that Norwich has such a huge number of artists, musicians, theatres.
In the city in autumn, a beautiful competition PaintOut Norwich, when artists painting and draw the streets of the city. In 2015, I had the Judges Commendation prize. I very often go out into the streets of the city and paint with oil and pastels, or just do sketches of people and streets. There are so many inspiring and impressive places to paint!
Q: How would you describe your style of painting?
I call my style “Spontaneous Realism or Emotionalism”. It is based on objects of human feelings and mixing them with colors. I try to convey emotions through a rich palette of colours. You could say that the question of style was invented by curators and gallery owners. For them its so much easier to sell and define the artist if their style can be easily identified. But many artists find it difficult to determine their style and I believe it is not necessary to do so at all. I never been hung up on style. And since, I’m an artist without a style, it’s hard for many galleries to work with me. But of all the great and celebrated artists of the last century, my favourite of which are Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud, David Hockney, Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso, they all grew, changed, tested themselves and their ideals, and moved forward as a result. As they did they rejected sticking to a particular style and I do not see this as a problem at all. This is the real life of the artist – to constantly search and test oneself and one’s ego. I’m not afraid to do this and will continue do so until the end of my life!
Q: How would you describe our creative process?
A: I am motivated by an interest in many aspects of life which leads to a never -ending creative process. I am deeply interested in tapping into the spirit of the times, or zeitgeist – i.e what is happening in the world, in politics. I am also inspired by the future and the past, both of which constantly stir up my creative process. My revolutionary creative spirit comes from a thirst. Thirst for new knowledge and discoveries. My thirst is also to constantly move and search for an authentic spirit of creativity. I believe there is no growth of consciousness without testing one’s capabilities by taking opportunities to challenge oneself.
Q: Tell us about your latest work?
A: The last 9 months I’ve been working on the project ‘The Art of Revolution’. This is a strong motivator for me. Although all my projects evolve slowly and take 9-12 months to come to fruition. This allows me to work hard and calmly with ideas and my thoughts, as well as with large canvases and installations. I need a lot of time to develop the concepts and consider the use of materials and media so that I can visualise the full picture in my head. Once I have done this the painting itself can be done quickly enough.
The exhibition is dedicated to the 100 years of the October Revolution in Russia, but it will cover the entire stratum of various revolutions, such as the revolution in cinema, design, architecture, food, sex, color revolutions, revolutionary figures of the century, Lenin, Che Guevara, Castro, poetry and music – Malevich, Picasso, Bacon, Mayakovsky, The Beatles and much more.
Q: What have been your most seminal experiences as an artist?
A: In 2011, I won a large mural commission in London at The Fire Station Tooley Street, Southbank, London. It is also a culinary academy. It was incredibly interesting to work with the talented architect Anna Machin. I consistently received excellent feedback on my work from the restaurant.
Last year it was very interesting to work on the commission of a portrait of Bob Davy from Norfolk. Bob Davy was awarded the ‘Order of the British Empire’ by Prince Charles personally for his services to the United Kingdom. He was an excellent model for a portrait in his small church, which he had personally dedicated his whole life to by restoring it as a historical monument. He uncovered ancient paintings under plaster, which were almost destroyed when changed to the Anglican church 400-600 years ago. He was such a wonderfully charming old gentleman with constant jokes which always cheered me up when I did drawings and paintings of him.

BODY-PAINT-BODY EXHIBITION
Em-Re-Un presents PAINT BODY PAINT - a group exhibition of arists based in East Anglia featuring work by Will Black, Daniel Brown, Nick Denney, Tanya Goddard, Gennadiy Ivanov, Sue Law, Simon Marshall, Lewis Mitchell, Christina Sabberton, Rebecca Scott, Sophia Shuvalova, Will Teather and Peter Williams.
PAINT BODY PAINT explores the relationship between paint and body, facilitating a dialogue that examines both the historic roots of said relationship and its significance in the contemporary art context. Far from being limited to oil on canvas of the human form the exhibition delves into a variety of possibilities posed by the idea of 'paint', 'body' and the connection between them. From rendering of the flesh to the fleshiness of paint, from human form to human action, from evolution of the medium to rendition of the concept both the paint and the body are respectively questioned, interpreted and reinterpreted as each artist offers their unique vision of this fundamental partnership.

"The curation of any exhibition is not an easy task. How do you combine the varied work or grasp the immensity of the artists' ideas? In what way should you put the pieces together? It's a big task! Each artist is living in their own world and with their own fantasies.
Each artwork has its own storie: there is always a story to be found beneath the layers of paint or bronze. Often , even a small mark or a smear of paint can tell more then a thick book! We live in a world that is on the edge of fact and fiction. What is beneath the surface of life? The surface highlights the life of every person, every artist, every creature. There, on the surface, are our emotions, ideas, discoveries, pain, life experiences and history. The truth is not obvious, it comes as a revelation. The truth is not on surface: it is hidden.
We invite you to look beneath the surface and find the truth, and there is our story! Then you can go on to create your own".

Art in Norwich British Art Show special publication - highlights British Art Show 08 and Giacometti at SCVA
First is that the new edition of Art in Norwich is out and about. The pdf and Issuu publications are available for download from here. Issuu, if you haven't used it, let's you leaf though a booklet onscreen in the way that you would a hard copy - try it out, it is great and dead easy and you can access it here . The hard copies have been delayed at the printers but will be out and about soon.
If you don't know about the British Art Show 08, it is a contemporary visual art show which happens every 5 years and is produced by the Hayward Gallery on the Southbank. Curated this time by two women Anna Colin and Lydia Yee, it includes 42 artists and tours to four cities in the UK. It opened in Leeds in October 2015, is currently in Edinburgh and comes to Norwich 24 June after which it will open in Southampton in October 2016. In Norwich, the two main venues are Norwich Castle and Norwich University of the Arts (East Gallery and St George's Building) and there will also be a sculptural piece at The Forum. It is a great coup for Norwich as it has a following and Leeds recorded over 100,00 extra visitors - which is good for the prosperity of a city generally, and the idea of the Art in Norwich publication is to showcase the rest of the art on show in Norwich at the same time.
As well as the artists and work that will be at each city, there are also city specific events. On Saturday 18 June 2016 in Norwich City Centre there will be a landmark event organised by Great Yarmouth based artist, Alan Kane. The exhibition will be delivered by six horse-drawn carts which will process through the city centre and deliver the exhibition to the three British Art Show venues. In much the same way as the circus would process through the town to announce its arrival, this procession will broadcast the arrival of the British Art Show to thousands of onlookers before its public opening on the Friday 24 June. Artists Jessica Warboys will also be working with Norfolk audiences but details yet to be released. There will be a piece of print which will have more details out in June but keep an eye on www.artinnorwich.org.uk or follow @artinnorwich on Twitter for updates
At the same time as BAS8, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts is hosting two fab exhibitions at the same time which will also be a draw to visitors from the rest of the UK and Europe. Alberto Giacometti : A Line Through Time, opens on Saturday 23 April and runs through till 29 August 2016. This major new exhibition commemorates the 50th anniversary of Alberto Giacometti’s death in 1966. Giacometti is one of the twentieth century’s most significant artists, celebrated as a sculptor, painter and draughtsman. The exhibition will be the most extensive in the UK dedicated to the artist since 2007, focusing on his work and influence during the post-war period on both sides of the Channel. Giacometti was one of the friends and protogées of Robert and Lisa Sainsbury and there are several Giacometti pieces in the permanent collection. Details about the exhibition can be found on the Sainsbury Centre website www.scva.ac.uk
At the same time as Giacometti, (23 April-29 August) there is also an exhibition of photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson, a French photographer who walked the streets of Paris, day and night, from one end to the other, grabbing candid and opportunistic images. The exhibition collects his best photographs of Paris, ancient and recent, well known and never seen before. As always, there will be a series of supporting events, talks and workshops so keep an eye on the Sainsbury Centre site or follow the Art in Norwich blog for deliveries straight to your inbox.
As well as these blockbuster events, there are many, many shows and activities in Norwich. For this special edition, I have also included selected venues and events outside Norwich and around Norfolk such as Cley 16, GroundWorks, a new environmental gallery in Kings Lynn, Great Yarmouth, Salthouse and general guidance about where to find work and enjoy the county. The Waveney Sculpture Trail is a great way of getting out and about in the summer. We live in an amazing county and it is well worth exploring - and a good time to invite friends and relatives to visit too - Art in Norwich can help you to plan so keep a copy handy. And I would also like to say a big thank you to all of the organisations that supported me in achieving this mega-publication it will hopefully be an asset to the city and county.
Music in Norwich is following soon but sign up to follow the blog here. And follow the Art in Norwich blog for notifications of new exhibitions starting - there are too many to list here

'Art on the move' exhibition opening evening 21-04-2015 at the brigade,london,tooley street. |

The relationship between art and food is as old as life itself.
The change to the Neolithic way of life led to food as pleasure with family and friends within a comfortable surrounding with drawings scratched onto the walls. Ever since cave painters and carvers made images, it was of their prey and the process of catching, preparing and sharing food. From antiquity to the present, artists have represented food, drink, harvest and hunger. Princely feasts provided a means of celebrating food on crafted tableware and a reason for showing off art, which often glorified the diner host. An apple in medieval paintings might symbolize condemnation or salvation. The relationship between food and art is at best one of harmony and well-being through the sharing of a sensual experience involving the stomach and the senses like strawberries and daffodils. Meals like art are often designed to be pleasing to the eye. Many artists such as Matisse and Picasso paid for their meals with paintings. In the 70's and early 80's artists exhibited at Daniel Spoerris Eat Art Gallery working with food as material. More recently Rothko and Hirst completed works for the interior decor of restaurants. The owner of Pied-à-Terre Restaurant have taken the food and art concept a step further by appointing an artist in residence. The Art On The Move exhibition at Brigade represents a contemporary example of this relationship. Both art and food represent an outlet for expression, are influenced by culture and change culture. Colour in art and food influence our experience. It is no co incidence that the cooking and presentation of food is often called culinary art. Much work by food stylists and photographers goes into making food visually appealing. Images of food in art represent aesthetic concerns, social habits, demographics, domestic relations and historical trends. |

Today's poem. on Russian
Раннее утро 06:25. 06-01-2015. Дома.
Продолжаю в студии. 10:35
Интернет
Листая новенький айпад,
И на искусство постоянно нарываясь,
Я понимаю-не впопад,
Что в прошлое забегом возвращаюсь.
Мелькают лица, фотки инстаграма,
И скрытые музеев драгоценные злата.
Не сожалею я уже ни грамма,
Врываясь в жизни приоткрытые врата.
Открыты все страницы интернета.
Заблужен я по улицам Москвы,
И тупиком остановлюсь я где-то,
Картиной став, и растворив огни.
Заблудшая душа, застывшая в айпаде,
Устав от росчерков традиционного пера,
Изнемогая лайков ждет.
Награде
И фальши чьей-то скоро будет отдана.
Опережая скорость промелькнувшего инета,
Нырнув в отличное иль нудное кино,
Я становлюсь частичкой опто-света,
Забыв про все, оставив приоткрытое окно.
