TAMARA KAMAEVA. WINTER SPRING. SUMMER, AUTUMN AND AGAIN ... WINTER 0+

Gallery "Stream", 3rd floor.

The exhibition of landscape painting by Tamara Kamaeva in Artmuz is entirely devoted to the cyclical nature of human life. Divided into five parts according to the seasons, the exposition invites the viewer to plunge into reflections on the essence of the changes that occur regardless of our desire.

The title of the exhibition is inspired and borrowed in part from the film-parable by South Korean director Kim Ki-dook. Calm landscapes, frozen plots of places that unquestioningly obey the passage of time, convey the mood of the seasons through the prism of the artist’s vision.

The viewer enters the exhibition in a snowy winter and again observes it in the paintings, but absorbs a qualitatively new mood: this is a time of changes, new states of everything, quiet wisdom without the noise of foliage and the pursuit of changes. After winter, spring always comes, the time for the awakening of nature and soul, from the drift of ice to greenery in May - an endless rush in painting, according to the author. Summer is a stable but laborious time for a landscape painter. Autumn again brings calmness, fruits of summer, comprehension of past experience. It is followed by winter again, but the viewer perceives this differently.
