Exhibition "Orthodox Traditions" Automatic translate

On April 21, a series of opening events for the press and guests took place at the All-Russian Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art Exhibitions “Orthodox Traditions in the 21st Century. Vladimir Mikhailov. " The exposition will continue its work until May 9 and, in addition to the exhibition block, will include a lecture program.

After the exhibition ends, Vladimir Mikhailov will continue to work on creating the image of Nicholas the Miracle Worker, depicted on a stone fragment of the tomb, donated to the artist by the ministers of the Basilica of St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker in Bari. May 22, 2016, on the Day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, a fragment in a new artistic embodiment will be returned to the ministers of the basilica.

In the near future, Vladimir Mikhailov plans to hand over to Fedor Konyukhov the priestly cross “sea”, which the artists thought through together. The work is an allegory on the Old Testament story about the Flood. Marine symbolism is woven into the canonical image of the cross: anchor, boat, ropes. A dove with an olive branch crowns the cross, which, according to mythological representations, is a symbol of new life on earth after the flood. The dove of peace has also always remained an important symbol for sailors, as a sign of the existence of the coast, and, therefore, of the house.

Fyodor Konyukhov and Vladimir Mikhailov are connected by many years of joint work. In 2014-2015 Konyukhov and Mikhailov created a series of jewelry: Mikhailov embodied Orthodox icons painted by Konyukhov in precious metals. A series of jewelry is just the beginning of a great interesting project. Fedor Konyukhov thinks over the idea of ​​creating a bronze monument to Nikolai the Miracle Worker in Moscow. There are plans for the revival of the best old and the formation of new military traditions: Vladimir Mikhailov and Fedor Konyukhov think out a belt buckle for sailors with the St. Andrew flag or anchor, as well as tokens for soldiers and officers with the image of Nikolai the Wonderworker.
