Vladimir Kush Unveiled His New Painting 'Winged Bridge'
May 5, 2022
During his highly anticipated first shows of the year at his gallery, Kush Fine Art in Laguna Beach, world-renowned artist Vladimir Kush came on stage and unveiled his New Masterpiece: "Winged Bridge." This new artwork was introduced in stages to his collectors and they were given the opportunity to take part in the Metaphorical Journey and collect this new Limited-Edition Print at a very special price before the big reveal. Through the weekend, among a very cheerful and enthusiastic crowd of collectors and visitors, the artist introduced his latest Metaphors on Canvas, Arches Paper, and Bronze Sculpture.
There are two bridges in the painting. One bridge is the rainbow, the creation of nature, connecting the Earth and Heaven. According to the ancients, the souls of the fallen warriors on the rainbow are on the bridge, on their way to heaven.
The second bridge connects two shores and, as we see, is made of butterflies. It can also be called a "rainbow bridge". It is known that the colors of the rainbow appear when the sunlight is refracted while penetrating the scales of the butterfly wings. Butterflies, as an emblematic symbol of the human soul, can be seen in different parts of the World. The butterfly as an emblematic depiction of the soul can be found in such widely separated regions as Zaire, Central Asia, Mexico and New Zealand. Butterflies symbolized the souls of fallen warriors for the Aztecs and were offered as sacrifices to some of the Mexican deities.
Butterflies have similar symbolism when used on Christian gravestones. An image of Christ holding a butterfly in the palm of His hand is a reference to resurrection. It must have given rise to the notion of the soul as an "unread book", the soul that remains a mystery.
The worker bees definitely took a big part in the construction of the magic Bridge.
Symbolism of the images in the painting:
Worker Bees: Symbol of hard work. It is known that the hexagon shape of the cells is determined by minimalizing the wax material spent. Honey is always sweeter on the other side.
Sky: The curtain of heaven, which moves, revealing the miracles on the Earthly stage. Caterpillar on tracks and the Beecycle: Symbolizes the slow-paced movement and a fast ride.
Bridge: Connects the two shores or two notions, standing apart from each other. Metaphor is also a bridge…
Butterfly: The symbol of beauty and free flight (the trajectory of its flight could not be figured by scientists).
Bridge of Butterflies: Connects two contradicting notions: free flight and bonding to the Earth. The beauty can connect things, seemingly far off from each other at first glance.
Kush created his own genre: "Metaphorical Realism" and currently owns three art galleries on the West Coast and is soon opening his new Gallery in Miami. Contact Kush Fine Art at [email protected] for more information.

Lee reaffirms commitment to establishing peace regime on Korean Peninsula
President Lee Jae Myung on Friday reiterated his commitment to replacing the armistice that suspended the 1950-53 Korean War with a permanent peace regime. The president made the remarks in a speech at a ceremony at the National Assembly commemorating the Pyongyang Joint Declaration, signed on Sept 19, 2018 by then President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un following their summit in Pyongyang. The speech was read on his behalf by Kim Kyoung-soo, Lee's special aide for political affairs. The 2018 declaration affirmed the two Koreas' determination to end military hostility across their border and to boost cooperation. Lee said that despite the declaration, inter-Korean dialogue and cooperation have ceased while tensions have risen, highlighting North Korea's rapid advancement of its nuclear weapons capabilities in the meantime. Now, South Korea is witnessing signs of hope for the resumption of dialogue between North Korea and the United States, the president noted, pledging to help expedite its resumption and efforts to have it develop into dialogue for a peace regime on the
