Sterligov . Unfortunately, the first exhibition of the artist will be held in Moscow after his death.

AB Baturin predominantly known in St. Petersburg, and this exhibition - the artist attempts to present Moscow's viewers and collectors.

Artworks AB Baturina desperate individual, recognizable in the most intricate exposition, however, they are organically lead to a thoughtful viewer of the artistic philosophies of the global art of XX century. Since the time of P. Cezanne vision pervoosnovnyh forms, the opening of the laws of their stay in space, revealing their secrets with the help of plastic expressiveness and color relations has become a leitmotif of figurative thinking, and I think that the foundation of world AB Baturina.

artist in his own words, it is impossible to understand outside the context of his life, outside influence, which has had its identity V. Sterligov. AB Baturin met VV Sterligov during the lifetime of his teacher, , in 1931. School Malevich - V. Sterligov much has the artist, arming it, but not enslaved vision. It was opened by invisible ordinary viewer harmonic logic of the world. Talent AB Baturina is the ability to both slow down time in his paintings, which sometimes it does chuditsya stop. The artist sees the simplicity of the complex nature and complexity of what seems simple. Surface of calm water reflecting the sky may be the subtlest way nuanced and complicated amount of tree crown is reduced to a simple plastic formula. The artist offers viewers the real possibility of the human eye and thought, especially the intellectual and aesthetic optician. Pictures AB Baturina constructed gently and powerfully defining color space planes, sometimes crossing each other smoothly, with its multi-dimensional universe, and harmony.

At the time, EF Kovtun in one of the articles on the V. Sterligov led the successful expression of the artist L. A . Yudina to determine the domestic aspirations in this area - «picturesquely-plastic realism». In the art of AB Baturina this principle brought to the extent possible, clear and clean.
