Ice cream from the siren.
Longrid, «The Sealing of sirens», is a home where silver-century poets coexist. The whole wall in the hallway is covered with pictures of them, and around it you can see the details we all know that it’s not just a museum space, it’s quite a living and cozy room.
My illustrations are drawn by the combination of noise and smooth shape. With the noise, I wanted to emphasize the shape of each object and bring it to the fore, as the background remained smoother.
The point of departure of my Longrid, which you can return to through the icon of the cash tip that appears at the end of each Longrid.
The starting point of my Longrid is a wall with portraits of poets, clicking on each of which the reader can learn some general information about them and proceed to reading a poem.
The screen of the passage to the poem
Sherschenevich’s poem «Broken Rhymes» describes how poetry is born from the author’s point of view. In my illustrations, I wanted to literally show it, draw the same dwarf that comes out of the letters and holds a violin and a penknife in his hand.
The Painting of the Poetry
«He’s got a violin in his hand, maybe a penknife. ♪ He laughs tired, nods with zigzag legs ♪
«I write from every letter,» «especially from exotic,» «under strange knock,» «the dwarf comes out anemic.»
When working on Vladimir Mayakovsky’s poem, «Warship Love,» I wanted to create the image of living ships, but to do so carefully, let’s say I made a nose out of the mast or out of the lifeline of my eyes.
«By the sea, playing, carrying / carrying a mortar carrier. / Linet, as if to the honey of a donkey, / to the mortar carrier»
In the searchlight episode, I wanted to show him the scream of the light beams, which fly across the space and reflect from the walls of the screen to the mortar carrier.
«Suddenly, with a searchlight on the nose of the goggles, / dived into the back of the mortar. / How the copper hair is coming up: / „R-r-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-thin!“
The runaway Elizabeth Dmitriev from the poem by Maximilian Voloshin, «To These Gulky Coasts of the Sea»
In my work on Anna Achmatova’s poem, «I’m having fun with you drunk,» I wanted to go into her relationship with Gumila and paint these lines precisely in the context of their communication.
I read that Ahmatova didn’t like her husband’s stories about Africa. Most of the time, they were at poetic nights, and Ahmatova even went to another room to avoid hearing them. I wanted to put it in my Longrid.
