2009 Ural Gzhel
Allow us to introduce Ural Gzhel a very special Ural Tourist hand painted in the 14th century pottery painting style by our own Svetlana Zyryanova.
Svetlana is an employee of the IMZ factory Paint Department. Some of the things she does at work is polishing the paint and applying camouflage spots onto Gear Ups. In her spare time, Svetlana is an accomplished artist. She became very interested in taking on a project of painting Ural Tourist in an exclusive Gzhel style. It was an exciting opportunity for her creativity to take the lead and make something unique and exquisite. She chose her own paint, the brushes, she came up with the design and patterns and hand painted every detail in her own spare time. The result was amazing! We are proud now to present to you her beautiful work of art. On the left side panel one can see Svetlanas signature and the date September 2008.
Why Gzhel and whats "Gzhel"?
Gzhel is an example of traditional Russian folk art with roots going back
to the 14th century. The art of gzhel pottery and design originated from the
settlements southeast of Moscow along Gzhelka River. Today this well-known
design of blue ornaments on white background is one of Russias cultural
gems. Gzhel evolved from pottery to the famous blue-patterned fine porcelain
known for its makers exquisite taste and excellence in craftsmanship.
We decided to dress one Ural in the finest design that centuries of tradition
afford us; share with you the talent of the people at our factory and demonstrate
what they can actually do.
This motorcycle looks like the finest porcelain figurine, but luckily it is
not as fragile
and one can actually drive it! The beautiful hand painting
on all body parts is clear coated for protection so that you can really show
it off on the road.
