Group exhibition of Moscow artists:
Galina Lopatina, Vladimir Fomichev, Evgeny Vereshchagin

March 6, 2018 at 16.00 in the Museum and Exhibition Complex of the Russian Academy of Arts Zurab Tsereteli Gallery of Arts (Prechistenka, 19) will open an exhibition of works by three Moscow artists - Galina Lopatina, Vladimir Fomichev, Evgeny Vereshchagin.

This is not the first time artists have come together so different in genre choice and stylistic predilections for their joint project - their common exhibition history dates back to 2000.

The painting of Galina Lopatina is initially metaphorical, born as a result of visualization of life experience and impressions: images of nature, architecture, everyday things and poetic associations. Her landscapes are filled with subject fragments of everyday life, captured at the intersection of architectonics and figurative similarity.

In the works of Vladimir Fomichev, form prevails over color, and free space over orderliness. The artist works in the author’s technique. Paper, initially used as a waste paper in art production, becomes a relief with various plastic textures.

In his chamber sculptures, Eugene Vereshchagin emphasizes the expressiveness and perfection of the image. Its plastic perfectly combines dynamics and statics. The characters are “shrouded” in an atmosphere of plastic materiality: like heroes of folklore and book miniatures, driven by external forces of nature, they follow a predetermined route, reveal to the viewer a form like a journey.

The internal dialogue of the works of three artists, their ideas and language makes the atmosphere of the exhibition saturated with spiritual and philosophical content. The correlation of their positions, mutual respect and the attraction of creative orbits indicate that these masters exist in one dimension.

The name of the exhibition “Currents” formulates and gradually unfolds several viewing modes in front of the viewer, placed inside a single panorama of pictorial and sculptural resonances. This finds expression in the analogy drawn between the way traditionally understood in the history of art and the conditions that create formats for an exhibition display for it. As you know, the current narrows the multiplicity of artistic phenomena within the direction, inheriting its principle of social, graphic and ideological unity for a certain time.
