Personal exhibition of Vladimir Kozhevnikov "Poetry of simple things"

Summer is a triumph of the creative forces of nature, which are at the peak of the flowering of colors and emotions, giving everything a poetic mood.

Artefice Gallery joins this breath of the season and opens a solo exhibition by Vladimir Kozhevnikov, "Poetry of simple things."

“Creation can survive the creator:
The Creator will leave, defeated by nature,
However, the image he captured
For centuries it will warm the hearts. ”- Michelangelo Buonarroti

As the artist paints on the canvas, creating poetic images, so the master of the pen displays words on sheets of paper, drawing colorful pictures to the imagination. Both that and another is capable to inspire a person’s soul and give a feeling of flying.

Is it easy to talk about simple things so that it is imaginative and interesting? Of course, yes, when a poet lives in your soul for whom there are no gray everyday life, ordinary people and boring things. After all, then on your canvases the autumn, dressed in a golden dress, and the roof of the village house, angrily jammed on the eye sockets of windows, and the cobbled streets of the old town, on which the sound of the stranger’s echoes past, will come to life, will come to life. The feelings and emotions of the author are reflected in his works, on which even simple things and events become the subject of inspiration and conversation with the viewer. The artist’s canvases - still lifes, landscapes, nudes, subject-themed paintings painted at different times and having their own biography, provenance - all together create a unique effect of “… the painting that is heard”!
