The animalistic painting “August. Evening” was created in Moscow in 1985 by artist Nikolay Borovskoy.
In the animal painting, animals become the main motif and the main object of representation. The genre has several defining features: the animal must be painted close-up, authentically and with realistic behavior.
Five horses occupy the central part of the canvas. They are of different colors: two gray, two chestnut and one black. The horses stand in a corral, with their backs and sides turned to the viewer. In the evening sky, a thin, waxing moon is barely visible. The master painted the sky, the leaves of the trees and the ground under the hooves of the horses with large, slightly relief strokes.
Nikolay Borovskoy was born on August 1, 1946 in the village of Peschanka, Kharkiv region, USSR. In 1971, he graduated from the Crimean Art College named after Nikolay Samokish, and in 1979 from the Faculty of Monumental Painting of the Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute. At that time, he began to participate in Moscow, All-Russian, inter-republican and international exhibitions.
In 1982, Borovskoy joined the Artists’ Union of the USSR. From 1985 to 1993, he worked as a leading artist-expert for the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR. In 2000, he was appointed professor at the Surikov Art Institute.
In 2009, Borovskoy joined the “New Peredvizhniki” (“The New Wanderers”), a creative association, which continued the traditions of Peredvizhniki (The Wanderers), or Society for Travelling Art Exhibitions, which formed in the last third of the 19th century. Together with other members, Borovskoy organized exhibitions and plein air events, at home and abroad.
In 2010, Nikolay Borovskoy was elected academician of the Russian Academy of Arts in the Department of Painting, and he was also a member of the Presidium of the Academy. In 2012, together with Chechen artist Vakhit Umarsultanov, he was awarded the State Prize of the Russian Federation for the creation of a museum collection of works by Russian artists for the Memorial Complex of Glory named after A. A. Kadyrov.
The works of Nikolay Borovskoy are housed in the largest museums of Russia, in many corporate and private collections in Russia, Commonwealth of Independent States countries, France, Germany, China, Belgium, USA, Japan, Bulgaria, Jordan.
