"Not only cats ..." - art exhibition in Petrozavodsk

PETROZAVODSK. Works of art dedicated to representatives of the animal world have always been of interest to the audience. Recently, exhibitions are often organized where the most popular pets dominate - cats. The poster, representing the exhibition that opened on July 16, located in the City Exhibition Hall of the Karelian capital, warns - "Not only cats…". You can visit it on August 9th.

This time, the exposition created by the organizers of the exhibition included not only images of the audience’s favorites - cats of all breeds and colors, but also images of other animals. This exhibition cannot be called an academic study of the animalistic genre in art.

The exposition, composed of works of various genres, shows how high the creative interest of artists in the world of “our little brothers” is, how great is the love for wildlife. Artists from different Russian regions brought to Petrozavodsk works made on canvases, graphic sheets, sculptural works, which were used to create wood, clay, metal.

The exhibition also features computer technology - digital animation. All these works, collected in a single space, immerse visitors to the wonderful world. Images of animals settled in it, many of which in reality are far from each other - graceful butterflies and respectable inhabitants of the whale whale seas.

Each artist depicts animals in his own way. Some of them enjoy the beauty of living nature, emphasizing the plasticity and habits of animals. Others use them as metaphors to talk about human relationships and experiences. The main thing that unites these works is that wildlife is a source of inspiration for authors.
