Black and white graphics are the whole world, and the color in the graphics is the emotions that color brings to this world. According to the most common classification, it is considered that the painting work is done with paints, and the graphics are written with graphic materials. According to the modern museum classification, works made on paper are classified as graphics.

It is believed that, unlike painting, color in graphics is conditional. He is given a supporting role. Can’t agree with this! Color in graphics has the same fullness of possibilities as painting in creating a spatial illusion of the real world. The tasks of drawing have much in common with painting, and the boundaries between them are conditional: watercolor, gouache, pastel, tempera, acrylic can be used to create both graphic and pictorial works in character and style.

Watercolor is a painting technique, it combines the features of painting (the richness of tone, the construction of form and space with color). Only the specific relief of the stroke is missing, which is typical for a picturesque surface.

Pastel is a material that is used both in graphics and in painting. The most common misconception is that painting is always colored paints, and graphics are black and white drawings. This is wrong! Paintings can be black and white, and graphics can be colored. Graphics use color. And not only tonal contrasts remain the main means of expression, but also pictorial tasks. The boundaries are conditional. And this is the purpose of the exhibition - to show and prove it.

Spectators are in for surprises, amazing and unexpected meetings with the work of Omsk artists and artists from other cities.
