Meeting Each Other

MEETING EACH OTHER

Tatiana Paleeva and the East Meets West Gallery are pleased to announce the opening of “Meeting Each Other”, an exhibition of Ekaterina Kudryavtseva and Aleksey Lantsev, as part of “ChudGraph” (Graphic Arts’ Annual Fair) in the New Manege exhibition hall.
Aleksey Lantsev frequently turns to drawing as a means of keeping a travel journal. In his new graphic works he turns back to the smaller impressionistic sketches done during his trips to Paris and Hamburg. His works are naturally compatible with Ekaterina Kudryavtseva’s figurative pictures from the series of “Flowers” as well as her poetry creations “non-poems”, which provide a glimpse of the secret relations between the artist and nature. Ekaterina’s “Large Flowers” series is absolutely unusual compared to her previous traditional pastel graphic pictures of flowers, in that they are not “real” at all and seem more like abstract outlines of flowers that keep only a formal resemblance to them.
Alexey and Ekaterina are “meeting each other” both figuratively speaking and in the real exhibition space. Each of these artists is a painter, in their body of previous work as well as their mental approach to art, and as a result, their methods and compositions strongly suggest canvas – but graphic drawing changes and enriches their perspective, opening up the more intimate side of the creative process.
You are warmly invited to the exhibit opening on Friday, April 17 from 18:00 to 21:00 in Hall 2 (B-2) at New Manege exhibition hall at 3/3 Georgiyevsky Per.

Opening time:
17 April 2009 from 18.00 till 21.00,
18 – 21 April 2009 from 11.00 till 20.00.
