IRKUTSK. The personal exhibition of the Irkutsk artist Gennady Ivanov was opened on June 9 at the Art Museum named after Sukachev. Her exposition was located in the department of Siberian art, located on K. Marx Street. The opening of the exhibition is timed to the anniversary of the artist, celebrating his seventieth birthday.

The exposition of the opening exhibition presents paintings of different years and art photographs, which are for the artist another, no less important area of ​​creativity. How seriously Gennady Ivanov treats the art of photography can be seen from the awards that celebrated his photographs. At the first Russian Photobiennale, held in 2009, Gennady Ivanov became the winner of the competition.

Several of his works are stored in the collection of Russian photography of the Russian Museum; collectors in Russia and abroad are willingly acquiring his photographs. For the works created by Gennady Ivanov in the field of photography, the artist was awarded the prize of the governor of the Irkutsk region. The master is the chairman of the artistic council of the Irkutsk Photographic Society.

Gennady Ivanov created his first paintings in the 70s, when the Irkutsk art school occupied a leading place in Siberia, where the atmosphere was filled with friendship and creative competition. At this time, the artist gained his individuality, his style of painting.

Beginning in the 80s, he painted a large number of landscapes in the vicinity of Lake Baikal, on which the artist captured both the famous places where hiking trails ran and the magnificent views that he personally discovered. They were created under different conditions of nature, and then were combined into an extensive series called "The Seasons".

You can see the work of Gennady Ivanov until June 28th.
