ABC of Moonlight. Exhibition of Boris Grebenshchikov. 16+ Automatic translate

Erart Museum presents an exhibition of Boris Grebenshchikov. The exposition will include drawings and paintings of the legendary leader of the Aquarium group.

Pictures of the musician and poet, the man-legend of the “generation of janitors and watchmen,” the man who pushed the boundaries of the musical and poetic genre and entered the shaky territory of messianism. Pictures where words and meanings acquired materiality, and music became a substance. The content of this painting is the territory where the Light rules. Grebenshchikov is not an artist. He’s just BG. He does not need to fall into the framework of the styles and directions of contemporary art and prove something to someone. He creates when he wants and what he wants. A poet in Russia is more than a poet, and Grebenshchikov is just that “more than” - a poet, musician, a cult figure of the Leningrad and St. Petersburg party.

His paintings were born from the creative abundance of earthly fruits that a good tree of talent Grebenshchikov can bring. He is educated enough to allow himself to be unlike modern painters. He does not try to compete in skill with photographers. This is not modern art in the sense of contemporary art, this is art without time and place. It is OVER time, and its nature is from the Platonic world of ideas. The nature of his songs is from there. They do not become obsolete for decades. Our children listen to and understand them or are ready to understand. The esoteric meaning of the message is elusive, but it certainly reaches the addressee. The case of Dr. BO lives!
