“Dialogues of Imagination”

Contemporary Art of Eastern Europe and the USA

April 3rd – 9th, 2019

Opening reception – April 3rd, 6-8 PM

The modern world, with its common information space, is becoming increasingly compact and informal. In art, it looks the most obvious and significant. Nowadays a creative person feels like a World Citizen, where contemporary art has become truly international.  Are cultural traditions, the continuity of art schools and generations relevant, and is personal national self-identification important in contemporary art? 

To find answers to these questions will help the exhibition “Dialogues of Imagination”, which collected works of famous contemporary artists from Eastern Europe and the United States. 

The exhibition is unique in the way that along with American artists, there are artists who are well known in Europe, but for the first time exhibiting their work in the United States. The exhibition presents artists whose works are in the collections of famous people, presidents of European states, in national museums, funds of famous companies, as well as in permanent exhibitions of leading European galleries.

Artists:

Oleksii Apollonov, Petro Bevza, Oleksii Beliusenko, DYANA, Leo Genkin, Marina Kalinovsky, Marina Kashirskaya, Lana Kaufman, Kira Koktysh, Larisa Krasner, Yelena Lezhen, Anna Miklashevich, Olena Pryduvalova, David Sharashidze, Petro Smetana, Irina Rodnikoff, Ola Rondiak,Boris Yeghiazaryan, Anna Zaiachkivska, Mykola Zhuravel.

Curator: Tatyana Borodina

When the works of artists from 6 countries are shown in one exposition, the theme – Dialogues of Imagination, acquires a special meaning.  The exhibition forms a free dialogue of creative individuals with a unique artistic experience, original vision, and a complex spectrum of emotions. Artists engage the viewer in an active dialogue, offering to become a referee in their creative discussion. 

Modern art is a kind of mirror of the inner world not so much of the author as of the viewer.

Figurative and abstract painting, expressionism, realism, minimalism, primitive art, graphics and ceramics – a wide range of works will allow guests of the exhibition not only to find “their picture”, but also to gain new experience in the knowledge of modern art. The exhibition “Dialogues of Imagination” will give you beauty, pleasure and experience, will allow you to meet with talented artists and spend an unforgettable evening with a glass of wine in hand in the company of creative people.  At the opening of the exhibition will be presented a collection of creations of famous jewelry designers Loe Genkin and Kira Koktysh. On the opening day guests of the exhibition will have a rare opportunity to purchase the works of artists and designers with a 15-20% discount.
