"Tales of Pushkin" performed by St. Petersburg schedule Evgeny Zhavoronkov Automatic translate

A great opportunity to plunge into the fairy-tale world of graphic paintings by the remarkable artist Evgeny Zhavoronkov appeared among the residents of St. Petersburg and its guests. The ARKA art gallery, located in the historical part of the city, next to Palace Square, has provided its exhibition space for the exhibition, which has just begun its work, with a new series of works by Yevgeny Zhavoronkov dedicated to Pushkin’s fairy tales. It is possible to get to know her until November 30th.

Zhavoronkov works not only in the graphic genre; the artist himself considers the main part of his work to be his paintings, the themes for which were biblical subjects. The city landscapes painted by the artist are surprisingly real; they sometimes resemble a background shrouded in airy haze for theatrical scenery. It is not so important what exactly the artist portrays in his works. More significantly, he shares with the audience a vision of the world living in his heart.

For those visitors to the exhibition who have not had time to see the artist’s graphic works before, they will be a real discovery. The virtuoso technique in which they are performed makes the viewer realize from the first minute how elegant the artist’s thought is and how painstaking his work is, which made it possible to translate it into reality. The graphic drawing by Yevgeny Zhavoronkov cannot be repeated, and there is hardly anyone who can make such an attempt. In the lace composition of his drawings are not only the main characters of Pushkin’s tales, animals and insects, lurking among plants and herbs, come to life there.

The works of Yevgeny Zhavoronkov occupy an honorable place in the private collections of many famous connoisseurs of painting; he was a participant in prestigious exhibitions.
