Irina Karaseva "Painting mosaics" in the Gallery "Scoop" Automatic translate

From December 17 to December 28, the SOVKOM Gallery will host an exhibition of mosaic works by Irina Karaseva “Painting mosaics”, made in the style of mosaic painting.

Irina Karaseva studied modern mosaic technique in Montreal (Canada). Her work is distinguished by a subtle sense of color, simplicity and originality of compositions. A peculiar mixture of materials with different textures, emphasizing the features of the parts depicted, makes the paintings "tangible", and thereby enhances the emotional impression of the work. In one work, golden mosaic and Swarovski crystals can be used in the neighborhood of ceramics, glass and pebbles, and the number of types of materials used in a small work can reach ten. A characteristic feature of the art-mosaic works presented at the exhibition - landscapes, portraits, plot miniatures - is their strong emotional component. The paintings manage to accurately convey both the plot atmosphere and the emotional perception by the author, which makes the presented works related to the paintings of impressionists and post-impressionists in painting.

The plots of the paintings presented at the exhibition are mainly inspired by the fresh impressions of the author’s personal travels across countries and continents. All the works are imbued with admiration for the beauty and harmony of the beautiful corners of the world, both universally recognized and lost in time and space. Most of the materials used were brought, as well as impressions, from different countries (Mexican smalt, Murano millefiori, California ceramics, Austrian agate, Italian pebbles, etc.) All used natural stones were personally collected by the author and contribute additional positive energy to the place of their origin.

The works of Irina Karaseva are characterized by a bold use of large, “non-classical” mosaic brushstrokes with which the author “paints” a picture. The rich color palette, the variety of textures of natural materials, the powerful positive energy and the emotionality of the works exhibited make the viewer a vivid sense of a new perception of a work of art.

At the exhibition of Irina Karaseva “Painting mosaics”, which opens on December 17, 2012 in the SOVKOM gallery, more than 20 mosaic works from 2011-2012, executed in the style of mosaic painting, will be presented. This trend is now gaining a new birth in various combinations of pictorial genres with classical and modern mosaic techniques and materials.

The exhibition paid tribute to the upcoming holidays - Christmas and New Year, this topic has a special place in the exhibition space. In addition, you will see several portrait works, still lifes and plot miniatures.

If you like color, the magic of the world, nature and natural materials, if you are interested in new trends in art, then this exhibition is for you. Its original chamber exposition will add to you a bright, joyful, pre-holiday mood.
