Hadji Murad Alikhanov. COLOR and LIGHT. Exhibition of Painting and Graphics

As a ray of white light falls on a glass prism and reveals a rainbow of the spectrum, so the paints chosen by the artist’s brush, lying on the canvas, are reborn for a new life, playing in shades and tones.

School of Dramatic Art in collaboration with Artcultivator present an exhibition of the Honorary Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts Hadji Murad Alikhanov. This is the second exhibition of the artist in the hospitable space of the theater, giving a unique opportunity to merge Color and Light. The unity of light as an integral part of the theater’s architecture and the color that burns on the artist’s canvases creates an amazing impression comparable to the birth of a new universe. To enjoy this new world, born of light and color - with all its paradoxical rainbows, event horizons and time spirals - the viewer will need only one thing - the desire to feel harmony.

The exhibition presents more than 40 works: pictorial abstractions and landscapes. A special place is occupied by the series “Silhouettes” - the author’s interpretation of the immortal motive of naked female nature.

Curator Oksana Tsarevskaya
The exhibition runs from November 14 to December 1, 2017.
Admission is free by prior arrangement.
