EXHIBITION OF HAJI MURAD ALIKHANOV "BOX WITH PAINS"

The founder of abstract art, Vasily Kandinsky, believed that color is the key, the eye is the hammer, the human soul is the piano. And the artist is a hand that vibrates the human soul. A hand moved by a mystical "inner necessity." It is this need that forces the author to transfer his personal sense of color onto the canvas, generalizing what is inherent in him personally, the era and art as a whole. In this generalization, whole worlds lurk, filled with harmony, endowed with their own inner rhythm. Like any person, the author asks himself difficult and eternal questions, and like a real artist, he finds the answers at hand - in a box with paints.

“BOX WITH PAINTS” - this is the title of Honorary Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, Honored Artist of the Republic of Dagestan, Hadji Murad Alikhanov. The exhibition, which will be held at the School of Dramatic Art Theater, will feature about 30 large-scale paintings and graphic works created by the author in different years. This is the result of a creative search for an artist working for more than 40 years in various directions of figurative and abstract art.

The venue for the exhibition was not chosen by chance. The theater itself is a work of art. The architecture of the building is unique, the founders of the theater - director Anatoly Vasiliev and artist Igor Popov worked on the project. Light (including the light of stars), penetrating through the huge glass roof of the atrium, is repeatedly reflected in the white space of the lobby and, having transformed at some metaphysical level, pervades the whole theater with its complex system of through scenes and laboratories.

The combination of light that reigns in the theater and the color that burns on the canvases of the artist Hadji Murad Alikhanov creates a new perspective for spectator perception. The visitor has a rare chance to plunge into a special space that is not subject to the usual physical laws, to find himself in a world dominated by powerful energy, where new opportunities for contemplation and self-knowledge open up.

The exhibition will be held from October 11 to October 30, 2016.

Free admission.
