It was necessary in foresight, that Yosef and Oleg, natives of
Uzbekistan, graduated from the same Tashkent’s HIGH SCHOOL,   got acquainted only in Israel, in the
galilee city of Nazareth-Illit, have began here their creative activity.

They have thought up a pseudonym which they sign their works with: RESH
(ReSh)
- an abbreviation from the initial letters of two surnames.

And all has begun during preparation for a meeting
of  the 2000th year. Monumental works,
such as, a relief panel the area 100 м², displaying
history of the Jewish people, - it is established in the city centre. Then
there were lists of a wall the area 180 м²; stained-glass
windows murals,  and  a  huge
wall  mural  of 
“Beit  Hamigdash”  in the central synagogue; bas-reliefs,
decorating of some public institutions and country houses, and  last  
easel paintings.

More than 2000 works have  been created  
in total by the duet of painters RESH . They are made in the most
different manner: from realistic to "fantasy", and "suprematism".
Style "KFAR" - coubofoturistic abstract realism such abbreviations
name. However, style and the manner are not the most important thing. As
Voltaire has told, "all genres are good, except boring". All the
works of  Shkred and Reznikov don’t leave
us indifferent: they are always unexpected,  
and unpredictable. Their manner of painting is their art perception of
reality.

The pictures painted in common Reznikov and Shkred, were exhibited at
Israel, America, Russia, Hispania  and in
Germany.     In February-March 2008 RESH participated in the
annual "Art Expo" which took
place in the American capital. Reproductions of RESH paintings  were included into the collection of "20 international artists" (№ 4, p. 42-43), published by the
Museum of America and the European library of arts.

In
2007 on a celebration devoted to the 50 anniversary of  the city of Nazareth-Illit,


Pictures Reznikov and Shkred were presented to the Prime
minister and the President

of Israel.
In May of 2009, during the visit of Pope Benedict XVI  in Israel the composition of artists RESH "Nazareth" has been
presented to the Pope. Now this picture of RESH is in  the art collection of  the  Vatican.
