Alexander Dashevsky has favourite artist - american Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993). In the beginning of 1950s Dibenkorn arrived in New Mexico. There he was amazed by the deserted landscapes of southern surburbs of the USA, and, incorporating these strange terrestrial reliefs, Diebenkorn created his abstract sculpture. His landscapes are half aerial photograph and half abstract painting, made, at first sight, very smoothly but, if one looks carefully, they have depth owing to the colors of the paint. Dashevsky through Diebenkorn’s eyes opens the Petersburg landscape of the Pulkovo's hills to us... His pictures are a homage to, and are inspired by abstract painting and the local site which was chosen for a dialogue with the cosmos and then naturally become a powerful airport.
