"Saints and artists: dialogues of the times" in Moscow House of artists
The exhibition, which opens on October 25 at the Kuznetsk bridge, presents paintings and sculptures by Viktor Kalinin, Alexander Burganov, Olga Bulgakova, Konstantin Khudyakov and others.
In this project, organized by the Moscow Union of Artists and the Moscow House of artists, will feature paintings and sculptures devoted to the saints and ascetics of Russia, spiritual leaders, anciently revered in our nation.
This is Boris and Gleb, Sergius of Radonezh, Peter and Fevronia, Seraphim of Sarov, Martha of Moscow and other Saints, born and lived in Russia and served our land. This is ascetics and Saints who were born outside Russia, and revered throughout the Orthodox World: St. Nicholas (Nikola of Mozhaisk, Saint Nicholas), the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, the Holy elder paisios of the Holy mountain.
This exhibition aims to open a narrow stratum of the Moscow secular theme of contemporary art "not in order". If the Church iconography and monumental heritage has been well studied, their practical applicability is clear, despite the secret sacred content, the spiritual and value aspect of secular works, devoted to the saints, have yet to be fully explored in the art.
the exhibition will feature themed paintings and sculptures of famous Moscow artists. Including the works of Viktor Kalinin, Evgeny Maximov, Alexander Burganov, Olga Bulgakova, Konstantin Khudyakov, Gennadi Krasnoshchekova, Yuri Popkov, Alexander Smirnov, Olga Trushnikova, Sergei Mantserev.
What spiritual impulse compels the artist to take up the brush, clay, and other material to tell about this aspect of Russian history? What aspects of the spiritual world are attracted to modern masters? In what form they clothe it content? As artists dispense with the canons, strictly regulating the form? What genres do they prefer? What form of dialogue with time, choose a contemporary artist and how the artists feel and hear the answers of history? To uncover these subtle aspects — is the task of the exhibition (Yana Poklad).
