Exhibition by Yuri Kvasov "All Faces Familiar"

On November 17, in the Gallery of Siberian Art (Karl Marksa str., 23), the personal exhibition of Yuri Kvasov "All Familiar Faces", timed to coincide with the artist’s 75th anniversary, begins its work. The exposition includes more than twenty paintings depicting outstanding people of the city of Irkutsk: writers, playwrights, actors, artists, patrons of art, public figures.

Despite the development of technology, the classic portrait genre is relevant and in demand among the viewer to this day. Yuri Nikolaevich Kvasov is one of the few artists of the Irkutsk region who not only continues to paint portraits, but in his works refers to various areas of this art: genre-thematic, historical, theatrical, chamber-psychological and others. One thing remains unchanged in his works - each of the portraits most fully and accurately reveals the essence of the depicted model.

Traditions. Craftsmanship "of the Union of Artists of Russia (2013), medal" Krasnomyadnaya "in honor of the 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty (2014), certificate of honor of the mayor of Irkutsk (2017).
