Joint exhibition of Siberian artists of various genres in Novosibirsk

NOVOSIBIRSK. An interesting project opened on June 19 at the city’s art museum - three artists from three largest Siberian cities presented their works. Each of them is the head of the creative organization of the Union of Artists in his city. Sergei Anufriev represents Krasnoyarsk, Andrey Mashanov represents Omsk, and Vadim Ivankin represents the city where a unique exhibition, Novosibirsk, has begun.

After creating many successful exhibition projects that brought together the best representatives of the artistic forces of Siberia, the artists decided to create a project that introduces their work in a joint exhibition. These masters of art found their creative path in the early nineties, when many artists, perplexed, trying to decide, darted from one artistic movement to another.

Thanks to the work of Sergei Anufriev, modern ceramics successfully developed in Siberia, which later became known as the “Krasnoyarsk school of ceramics”. In addition to the manufacture of ceramic products, Sergei Anufriev successfully works with wood and metal, glass, as well as digital photography.

Andrei Mashanov devoted his work to the study of the theme of the art of Ancient Russia. The series “Old Russian Masters” performed by him in the print technique shows that the theme of serving the truth, which consists in the values of all times - goodness, beauty and humanism, is eternal for all times. This idea goes through all the works of the artist.

Vladimir Ivankin presented paintings and graphic works on biblical themes and picturesque self-portraits at the exhibition. The artist’s works show a desire to affect the feelings of his contemporaries, these are not illustrations of bible plots, they are emotional and full of thoughts on the subject of spirituality.
