Exhibition "FOREST" (Anton Leukhin and Nadia Miniakhmetova) Automatic translate

Anton Leukhin and Nadia Miniakhmetova are from Tatarstan, now live and work in St. Petersburg. Graduated from the Art and Industrial Academy. Stieglitz are frequent participants in various exhibitions and symposia, including international ones.

The painting of Anton Leukhin is unusual, bright, expressive, with its recognizable features - for example, with the artist’s characteristic black outline. Topics of interest to A. Leukhin are often in the field of metaphysics. Thus, landscapes painted by Anton are not just trees or grasses, or species landscapes; it is a space filled with mystery, saturated with images, a special state.

The ceramics of Nadia Miniakhmetova also does not quite correspond to the usual notions of ceramics as works of utilitarian significance. The artist in her works goes beyond the scope of the object and seeks to form a new space close to an easel work in the landscape genre.

The “forest” that artists create is, of course, a metaphysical space. It is not related to the real landscape, but to the inner world. This is a story from the life of two artists. The image of a dense forest, mysterious, dangerous, inhabited by hostile spirits, and, in contrast to it, a kingdom of serene flowering glades. The border of wild untouched nature and the human world. All this attracts and inspires. It is dangerous to look into the eyes of an unfamiliar world. Will a man be able to get through the forest wilds or will remain forever in a web of branches, roots and fear? Touch and feel the poetry of life, hear the whisper of roots and branches, go through the gloom and go out into the light…

The exhibition runs until February 20, 2017.
