    Russian graphic artist and painter Boris Indrikov was born in Lenningrad and currently lives in Moscow.

    Michael Reardon shows a master watercolorist’s skill for handling edges, from the delicate tonalist softness of mist shrouded foliage to the crisp sharpness of architectural forms, often contrasted in adjacent passages within the same work.

    I don’t ordinarily cover photography here on Lines and Colors, partly because it seems a little off topic, but largely because I feel it’s covered better elsewhere. However, I couldn’t resist the delightful digitally-composited photographic fantasies of Jean-François Rauzier.

He can use either medium to evoke sun filled scenes, rich with the contrast between deep dark and brilliant highlights, as well as the muted values of an overcast day.
