Artist Reception with Eugene Lushpin

Eugene Lushpin and Alicia Dauber at his artist reception at Kush Fine Art in Caesar's Palace Forum, Las Vegas

I had the great pleasure of meeting Eugene Lushpin face-to-face at the Kush Fine Art Gallery located in Caesar’s Palace Forum in Las Vegas this last year. Eugene speaks very little English but we were able to communicate a wee bit on our own (he is very nice!). We mainly talked through an interpreter. It was great fun and an honor to be able to have the opportunity as Eugene still spends most of his time in Moscow. I have personally collected 3 of Eugene’s pieces – so I am officially a collector as well as his agent!

Paris Steps by Eugene Lushpin

adauber — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:30:19 +0000

Just Arrived! Russian Artist, EUGENE LUSHPIN has just released two new original images: “Home” and “Paris Steps”. Born in Moscow in November of 1966, Eugene is a celebrated contemporary artist whose inspiring paintings of still life and landscape reflect a complex rendering of texture, illusionistic light and an intricate attention to detail.
Skillfully mastering the complex technique of texture painting with glimmering, lustrous or reflective surfaces, Lushpin has created a series of photorealistic landscapes; which at first glance, are often mistaken for large color photographs.
Recently, the artist’s interests have become more focused on the image of the city. He has a unique gift for capturing the dynamic energy of a crowded sidewalk or the serene mood of a quiet neighborhood. Rooftops are often a prominent subject in much of his work. Lushpin’s brilliant use of color and sharp contrast combined with loose Impressionistic brushstrokes bring a dynamic quality to his impressive artwork.
