Exhibition "Enrichment of Reality". Painting, graphics, photography Automatic translate

The exhibition "Enrichment of Reality" represents the current trend of contemporary Russian art — appeal to myth and tradition. A hundred years after the Russian avant-garde, the canon is no longer opposed to experiments, but again becomes a natural basis for the development of art. Cultural memory for exhibition authors is a way to discover the solid foundation of our time.

The exhibition brings together more than 20 artists from Moscow and St. Petersburg, who are actively working in the field of contemporary art. The beauty of the human body, the grace of past and future technologies, and traditional visual techniques from painting to photography, construct at the Enrichment of Reality exhibition a life-affirming civilizational myth — the true reality from which the everyday life of the future originates.

In the photographs of the Apollo Committee partnership, the rocket engines produced by NPO Energomash appear as sacred artifacts of a great civilization. Alexey Belyaev-Gintovt refers to the architecture of the Stalinist Empire as a memory of the mythical Hyperborea. Antiquity in the graphics of Alexei Morozov and the Renaissance in the paintings of Vladimir Kolesnikov are combined with objects of modern life. Also at the exhibition are the works of Russian pioneers of digital painting, the Doping-Pong group, and one of the strongest representatives of Petersburg realism, Igor Pestov.

Exhibitors refuse the easy way popular in contemporary art to ascertain the collapse of the human personality and “research” the mechanisms of art perception. Their work constructs the cultural code of today.

The exhibition “Enrichment of Reality” in Gallery A3 begins a mobile exhibition project, the purpose of which is to present in large cities of the country a holistic image of contemporary Russian art, addressed to a wide audience. After the exhibition in Moscow, “Enrichment of Reality” will be held in St. Petersburg, Crimea and other cities of Central Russia, the Urals and Siberia.
