Tula Art Museum invites you to travel around Japan

TULA. Since July 1, the regional art museum invites its guests to make a trip to Japan. It is under this name that the museum opens an exhibition of works by Vladimir Kolesnikov, created by the artist based on the impressions of his trips to Japanese cities. During a trip around the country that took place more than thirty years ago, Kolesnikov discovered the Asian culture, which is noticeably different from the European one.

A close acquaintance with the unique culture of the country, which remains a mystery to many travelers to this day, not only made it possible for the artist to see the famous monasteries and temples, but also made him change professionally. If before traveling to Japan, Vladimir Kolesnikov worked as an instant artist, his acquaintance with Japanese culture opened up new creative spaces for him.

The artist’s interest in Japanese literature, mythology, and art was reflected in the paintings, with the help of which he talks about the historical past of Japan, traditional art and architecture of an amazing eastern country. With the help of paintings by Vladimir Kolesnikov, placed on display, museum visitors can see how deeply the artist plunged into the culture and art of Japan.

Japan is presented in its own way to each of the people who have not visited this country. Visitors to the Tula Art Museum were given the opportunity to see Japanese landscapes, the unusual architecture of religious buildings in Japan, through the eyes of Vladimir Kolesnikov. Bright paintings collected in the exhibition hall of the museum will help museum visitors understand how unusual this distant eastern country is.

There is enough time for acquaintance with the exhibition until September 10th.
