The anger Painting

His name is Sergey Ladoshin. His creative pseudonym is DAS. He was born in 1974 in Kineshma, Ivanovo Oblast (Region). From childhood, he astonished people with his creative ability. He liked to paint, to model, to plane, to create and to amaze people with his works. His spiritual awakening began in the middle 90s. He started working as a painter in housing and communal services. There he met a wonderful man who was an intellectual and a real painter. They enjoyed a lot of philosophical conversations about art, painting, life and death. These talks inspired him to try and paint a serious picture on canvas. This was his first picture. It was a clean, white sheet stretched on a stretcher. On this canvas there was a cityscape painted with a black pencil. The extemporaneous exhibition of this painting attracted a lot of viewers and received marvelous comments about the work of the young remarkable painter. After his first picture, which was a success, he had no doubts what he is going to do in the future. His next pictures were painting with oil. At the beginning of the 2000s he moved to Yaroslavl and there he painted copies of pictures for sale and worked in artistic galleries, where he studied different styles of painting, market trends, and other areas connected with painting. At the same time he successfully went in for photography and video filming. He made one short artistic film and one full-length animated film, a lot of animated short films for television programs, a number of different commercials, photos, banners, and other advertising productions. In January 2014 during the New Year’s Holidays a mystical and symbolic event took place in his life. He had a dream. In his sleep he saw six abstract pictures, although he had never painted such pictures in his life, but these abstractions were painted so clearly and distinctly. He was sure that these were his pictures. He knew everything about them: their names and their contents. When he woke up he began quickly to paint all what he saw. This dream was so amazing and miraculous. He decided that he must paint these pictures. And then after a week of reflection he made up his mind to draw some abstraction. After first strokes of paint-brush on canvas he felt incredible freedom, lightness and all-consuming joy. He had never experienced such things before. In such an atmosphere, with such feelings he painted his first abstract picture which has the named « The Long Road of Heavens».
