Exclusive interview with artist Vadicore for Postmodern.jpg blog.

We had a chance to ask some questions to young and talented artist from Russia who is working in a original unique style and is known by the name of Vadicore.

Tell us briefly about yourself. How did you find your own style?

I was born in the middle of nowhere in a small Latvian town on Baltic Sea. Lived there till the age of ten until we had to run from gangsters. I started to draw just from boredom at school. I could not stand all the bullshit that they fed us there so i found myself in art. Continued at the university the same reason and do it still.

How were your first drawings born? Did you come up with all these forms on purpose or did it happen accidentaly during the search of your style?

I would say more likely it was an accident. I could not reach a decent level in realism so i had to invent a whole world of my own filled with my characters and system.

When you start composing a new drawing do you have a full picture of what's going on in your head or it's more like some sort of an automatic drawing technique?

It depends. Often i have a ready to go idea or a vision but most of the time what happens is that the drawing is telling me where to go. As to progress through the work it gives you hints where to turn. And many things just happen spontaneously. It is dope that you have no such thing as cancel or step back like on a computer or dealing with a pencil cause i always use pens and markers.

How much time do you spend daily on drawing? Do you feel your progress in technique and style?

I did not learn to draw nowhere. I like the fact that all my works are intuitive in a way. I am trying to reach a form that i would consider as beautiful. So you can tell that i have developed my own style or found it somehow if you wish. I tried to draw parallel lines on a certain distance from each other and then some circles in order to master my hand and make the lines more straight and accurate. But to study academical drawing is not my way cause i feel like i can loose my technique which is pure instincts. It may sound stupid but still. There is almost no progress only my imagination got bigger. Some things i realisied through the years with trying and failing. For example i realisied that every single liner out there has its own unique color even the same model. And you better have the work done with the same one. Also when you darken a big piece with a full black segment you can cheat using a marker. But if you stick with your more thin pen that you used already for the rest of the thing you will see that the piece is more accurate and atmospheric. I force myself to practice every day cause it happens so that your original idea can disappear when you do it slow. One A2 sized artwork is done in 10 hours. I am glad when its done in 3 sessions.

What can you tell us about contemporary art in Russia? In what state is it? Does the society support innovative artists or judge it having classical art as an example of how things should be?

I have no trace for contemporary art. Sometimes i find some artworks but they barely inspire me. I am still high on Dore and Giger. From Russia i like Rebus. Also i find very talented Joan Cornella who is more popular today, Skinner is the man, Bonethrower. I love Japanese style, retro futurism. As for the society, unfortunately we have no tradition to make prints and sell them in limited copies for the people out there as they do it abroad. I think the culture and the industry in Russia is in its birth phase. Commercial projects open new doors and make artists more popular but do we need it to be popular? In the documentary “Exit through the giftshop” there was an idea that they basically killed street-art making it more mainstream.

Is there a meaning in your drawings? What do you want to tell your viewers?

Honestly i don't even name most of the drawings. Very rarely. And something long and silly. Example - If Tom Jones be in the room he would laugh like a brewers horse. Or naming with songs that i draw to. It often affects the dynamics of the piece. For me it is more like an endless search for beauty. There are two ways to look at my works. Simply looking at them and you also can try to make your eyes stay out of focus. There used to be those albums with strange patterns and with a certain angle you would get more detailed images like a sailboat.

What does your family say about your art? Do they support you?

From the very beggining they did not took it serious at all and there was no support and understanding of what am i doing. But after more then 10 years in the game there is a lack of respect from them. Now they do understand that for me it is for real and i enjoy it.

Who or what gives you the inspiration?

Only women inspire me. Their movements and bodies.

Do you have other things you love as well as drawing?

I have a small vinyl collection i play the drums. Since 99 i skate. I used to be a rugby player and even took part in founding our own amateur rugby club with my cats.

Name your most favourite artists. With whom would you like to collaborate?

Love Dore, Giger, Skinner, Magritte. I love Edward Hoppers “Nighthawks”. Love Chinese master Minjun with his bizarre smiling men. No collaboration is desired. I have an experience of making art with my friend. We don't speak anymore.

We have an army of talented subscribers. Do you have an advice for them how to overcome the crisis in creativity?

Crisis is a start for new beginnings. It's simply impossible to make masterpieces every single time. I would say listen to yourself, what you want. Or go for a trip. Fall in love. Fight someone. I knew that i will dig in Sepultura and Marilyn Manson so i on purpose never listened to them till i turned 25. Except some hits on the radio. The idea was that eventually you will run out of good music so i wanted to keep something for better days. As a result it was mindblowing. Sure no alcohol and drug abuse. Only pure imagination.
