Today, in the exhibition hall «Chekhov House» Gallery of Polina Lobachevskii opens exhibition «Vladimir Braynin. In search of lost cities »..

Braynin - aborigine, a painter and philosopher Moscow. This exhibition - a new discovery known name. For the first time, youth and «youth» pieces Braynina late 1960 - mid-1980's presented as an end in itself subject: first Braynin conquers painting and then painting it conquers a city. Rare pictures from private collections and artist's studio show his journey from student to one of the leaders of «generation of the 1980's».

On another floor of the exhibition hall, on the contrary, new pictures - they have created over the past two years. City - in which the artist formerly vzhyvaju, and we opened a special character and uniqueness of the sky glow of headlamps in wet pavement, the mysterious, promising and full of life - is now a border area between life and death, nostalgia and thoughts of the future.

If the early works of passion and clearly visible to the dream of a «third Rome», a virtuoso picturesque composition latest paintings is through the fragments of stucco - inside the walls, but on reflection in the puddles and the odd street - to the definition of ( and retention), the essence, the soul of capital.

Vladimir Braynin - uncompromising artist. In the late 1970's censors in Moscow exhibitions were unhappy that his Moscow «mrachnovata», and the sky above it - «red». In the 1990's - 2000's of many picturesque lure installations or displaying his photos. No inducement to socialist templates, or entice the modern art Braynina never shaken. City, how he feels, is embodied in the painting, poetry, pictures, events, pictures, criticism.

Events Braynina work, dynamic and emotional interaction of the city paintings, the artist brings to mind the words of reputable local philosopher Merab Mamardashvili: «All that we are, there are events ... We are even worrying developments in the law. We do not always worrying. And the excitement for the person rather big value ... »

This quote from the philosophical analysis of Marcel Proust's famous novel «In search of lost time», which rhymes with possible sudden judgment «picturesque novel of Moscow» Vladimir Braynina. You can go further, to find common features in the fate and even the nature of the authors.

Braynin spoke of his surprise «multi-temporal life of the city, through the exposed areas of the wall».

«Proust said about the glare, which he visited, namely, that" a work of art - the only means to recover lost time "», - noted Mamardashvili.

A variety of circumstances make this show relevant - that the author's attitude to the future of Moscow and the clear confidence neangazhirovannoy artistic position and parallel to the fate of the city and the artist from 1960 until today.

The exhibition will show 26 pieces. For the first time Braynina work will be exhibited in the active design context, which includes video and audiokompozitsiyu related to the artist.

The exhibition is open from 27 May to 15 July in the exhibition hall «House Chekhova» (Low Dmitrovka 29).
