I got info that our local art gallery has new exhibitions of pictures. I was eager to go there at once! But my desire was even bigger when I discovered that it is an exhibition of Roerich's pictures сopies.
I've heard a lot about this mysterious man and his art, and I was sure I would see there something spiritual and very deep in its energy. I was right.
But let's see what we saw there one by one.
I was surprised that there were not 1 but 2 new exhibitions, and at first we saw this one.
It's pictures of a modern painter from Feodosia (the city in the Crimean not far from my city Kerch). The man is about 50 years old, and he has numerous awards in the art world.
But what impressed me the most was the fact - HE HAS NO ART EDUCATION and never studied painting at schools or anywhere!!
Can you imagine??
He was from Feodosia where a great Aivazovskiy lived and created his masterpieces. Moreover, Feodosia is washed by the sea, so people is connected with this theme from their birth. And this painter isn't an exceprion.
He was fond of Aivazovskiy art and one day just tried to repeat his picture.
Just a young boy with no art education!
his copy was fantastic! From that time he started his own art life...
There were about 30 of his works there but there were lots of people there so I managed to get only some shots.
My son liked his pictures much as well. We both were in love with his manner of sea painting that looks so alive in his works.
A real talent, a real artist.
Then we went to the Roerich's pictures сopies hall.
To be continued..
It's inspiring to see that someone without any form of formal art education can come up with such beautiful and seemingly perfect sea paintings. Indeed, a true talent has no limitations. Also, it's good to know that both you and your son enjoyed the exhibition...I look forward to knowing more about your experience at the art gallery 😍
