In the Kaluga Museum of Fine Arts (Lenin St., 103), the exhibition "Moscow Charms" opens, which presents landscapes of Moscow by artist Lyudmila Gennadyevna Charskaya, better known in the world of art under the creative pseudonym Lyusya Charskaya.

Lyusya Charskaya was born in Moscow, studied and graduated from the Faculty of Graphic Design of the Moscow Academic Art College in memory of 1905 in 1996, and in 2001 from the Faculty of Graphics at the Moscow Polygraphic Institute; she completed internships at the Academy of Arts of Russia (St. Petersburg) and France (Paris).

Lyusya Charskaya is a versatile artist, she works in different techniques and different genres, performs book illustrations, theater sketches, design projects, monumental murals - while demonstrating a high level of professionalism and pictorial culture. In her work, she develops and modernizes academic traditions, creating her own unique pictorial and graphic style. The works of Lucy Charska adorn prominent collections of Russian and foreign collectors, museums and galleries. Lusia Charskaya took part in 15 group art exhibitions in Russia and abroad, her personal exhibitions are annually held. She is a member of the Moscow Union of Artists (MA), the Union of Artists of Russia (VTOO CXP) Moscow Branch, the Creative Union of Artists of Russia (UNESCO), the Creative Union of Professional Artists, the International Academy of Creativity, the Union of Women Artists "Irida", and the International Art Fund.

The opening exhibition of Lucy Charskaya "Moscow enchantment" presents a series of paintings dedicated to Moscow. This is one of the main topics in the work of the artist. She has been working on a series of these landscapes for five years. All landscapes are united not only by one theme, but even by one canvas format. The exposition includes about forty paintings. The artist called the series of these landscapes “Moscow Charms”, as these paintings show the views of her native city, but in unexpected angles, lighting effects that transform the traditional vision of the motif and fill it with a new imaginative reading. Moscow appears in them, its streets and temples, new areas of the city, seen freshly and in a new way. This impression is greatly facilitated by the manner of writing, based on the modeling of the image by individual pasty strokes, each of which carries a clean, unmixed color. “Moscow on Charskaya’s canvases sounds bright and festive. In the paintings there is an inner light inherent in the capital. A series of landscapes about Moscow serves as a new confirmation of the creative credo, once expressed by L. Charskaya: "In every painting, there is necessarily an organic trinity of painting, music and poetry."

The exhibition will run from June 9 to July 7, 2017 at the premises of the Information and Educational and Exhibition Center of the KIIA (103 Lenin St.).

The museum is open from 10.00 to 18.00, on Saturday from 11.00 to 19.00. Monday is the day off. Contact phone - 8 (4842) 56-28-30.
