Founder of the:
Prosopon School Of Iconology
ICONOGRAPHIC STYLE OF THE SCHOOL.
The ancient Russian-Byzantine
tradition of icon-writing reached its height during the XV century. Today, the iconographer within
The School attempts to produce icons reflecting the same state of
inner, contemplative depth evident
in the greatest examples of ancient
Iconography.
The task is accomplished through refinement of artistic nuance and attention to the iconographic canon and principles, rather than simply “copying.” As in antiquity, only natural materials are used: wood panels gessoed with natural ground, genuine gold leaf with applied by the bole method
egg tempera using ground pigments, and linseed oil finish.
The iconographic method of the School is characterized by a
multi-step process in which the
succession of steps is concrete
and definite, as it is in the liturgical services of the Church.
Despite the striving for a high artistic level, the focus of the icon-writer nevertheless on personal spiritual discipline and growth within the guidelines of
Orthodox Church teachings. |
