New works by Lipetsk artist Nikita Starik at an exhibition in Voronezh

In the Voronezh gallery "Neft" began a personal exhibition of the artist from Lipetsk, Nikita Starik. Even the name of the exhibition’s exposition is “The Old Man and the Oil”, reminiscent of the painter’s special relationship with the art gallery. This is not the first time Nikita Starik has brought his works to Voronezh, and Nefta is constantly providing the exhibition hall.

A new exhibition in Voronezh invites you to see the artist’s works combined in two series - “Russian Album” and “European Album”. Of these works, viewers are familiar with only one thing, all the other paintings have not been shown before, visitors to the Voronezh exhibition will be their first connoisseurs.

Nikita Starik is inexhaustible in his creative ideas. Thanks to his fruitful work, he was able to take part in many solo exhibitions, his work was also successful in collective exhibitions, invitations to which did not bypass the artist. Since 2000, he has been a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. Private collectors are actively interested in the work of Nikita Starik, decorating their collections with the artist’s painting.

For themes for his paintings, the artist often turns to classical painting. The images, inspired by the paintings of old masters, become in the Old Man’s works a surprisingly vivid, artistic world. Determining the name of the genre in which the Old Man works is very difficult. Experts, describing his works, use many special terms that are not too clear for the general public. Yes, this is not so important. A mixture of styles helps the artist to be exactly the same in his work as in life - cheerful, kind and absolutely free internally. You can get acquainted with the work of Nikita Starik in Voronezh until November 19th.
