Personal exhibition of works by the President of the Russian Academy of Arts Zurab Tsereteli

At the personal exhibition of the People’s Artist of the USSR and Russia, President of the Russian Academy of Arts Zurab Konstantinovich Tsereteli "The Joy of Life", prepared by the Russian Academy of Arts, 56 works by the author are presented: 33 paintings, 21 three-dimensional enamel and 2 sculptures.

It is difficult to overestimate the master’s contribution to the culture of not only our country, but the world as a whole. His art unites generations and countries, and what he created with his hands would be enough for several lives. The sculptural compositions of Zurab Konstantinovich adorn many cities not only in Russia, but also in Great Britain, France, Spain, Uruguay, Jerusalem, Japan, Greece, the USA, Serbia, Canada, and, of course, the master’s homeland - Georgia. He is the bearer of the traditions of different times and peoples.

The artist’s works are like colored dreams come to life, and each is an ode to life. Here, both color and characteristic images are symbolic, and the very idea of the inseparable existence of nature and man. Bright, life-affirming, sometimes ironic paintings-novellas seem to immerse the viewer in the boundless expanses of a unique artistic dimension. The master is consonant with modernity even when he turns to eternal, classical themes. In his works, there is something that a person needs so much - an extraordinary and inescapable, victorious power of life.
