By force of habit many believe that work of art depicts reality which can be as true as possible or deliberately distorted. The experience of recent times teaches us differently: an art work is only materialized recording of artist's emotional response to reality. This thesis is strongly supported by the work of Igor Tishin. In his art the sensual expression of spontaneity triumphs over the analytic contemplation.

The essential foot or backdrop of many of his works is photo, which usually fixes random and devoid of attractiveness motive. It can be abandoned room, rickety house, wooden fence or garage backyard. This kind of dull "underpainting" becomes a field for the energetic brushstrokes which enliven his images of giants and monsters, bizarre flowers, abstract forms and vague slogans as if snatched from restless dreams.

The artist reveals the technique, not trying to camouflage the photo for painting, or create a collection of painted images. Connecting of two normally denying each other techniques gives to his art works a new quality: the dynamics and statics, fever and chills, silence and scream, all these appears at the same time and in the confrontation, and in the union. The result is the materialization of the idea of disturbing emotional infinity of earthly Paradise, sometimes illuminated by the infernal outbreaks.
