February 14, 2019 at 17 o’clock in the exhibition hall of the House of Artists the opening of the anniversary personal exhibition of the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Sanin Igor Aleksandrovich "With watercolors for life."

The famous graphic artist entered the art in the early 1970s, presenting to the audience his ideas and works in the field of book graphics, prints and designs. Soon there is an attraction to watercolor, which captures for the amazing possibility of transmitting direct emotional perception of nature, the diversity of its interpretation. Numerous creative open-air trips around Siberia and the country (Altai, the North of the Tyumen region, the Lena river basin, Tuva, Khanty-Mansiysk, Bashkiria, etc.) caused the researcher to immerse himself in the surrounding reality.

Nature in the endless facets of its manifestation - the freshness of rain and winds, the breath of flowering fields, green forests, the smell of beautiful leaves, diamond dew drops, mists - forever captured the heart of the artist. Possessing exceptional analytical observation, Igor Sanin was the successor of the best landscape realistic traditions, began to consistently develop his own method and stylistic techniques of watercolor writing, adequate to the temperament of the artist.

The plein air traveler Igor Sanin embodies in his works a finely felt and at the same time deeply authentic picture of nature. He manages to reflect the nature of the remote Siberian corners of village motifs. Each landscape is built in the right tonality, seen in the colors of Siberian nature. A series of watercolors convey the typical look of a Siberian village with rickety wooden huts, open spaces of fields and meadows. The introduction of genre motifs plays a special role in this. In landscapes you will always find the image of cows grazing on pastures, horses, figures of people engaged in everyday affairs. They are so correctly outlined in characteristic movements, poses, exercises, create in space a single whole with the environment. Landscape works in depth and elevation of the poetic contemplation of nature, in the musicality of color harmonies are especially distinguished by their lyricism.

The range of experiencing a picture of the world in Igor Sanin is wide. Having mastered the technique of watercolors to perfection, the master from natural compositions increasingly switches to improvisations and decorative compositions. This is another opportunity to uncover all the secrets and visual expressive possibilities of watercolor, its picturesque properties. In a series of these works, as a rule, the sheet plane is decoratively voiced, delicately registered in a whirlwind of rhythmic lace pattern. The artist’s thinking is carried out through color, amazing intricate figures and black and white modeling. The magic of color, the dynamism of the composition give rise to a special mysterious life of plastic elements.

Exposition of the anniversary exhibition of Igor Sanin, including more than 80 works from the 1990s to the 2000s. gg., allows you to trace the great and beautiful path of the master, in whose world reigns high professionalism, true beauty and harmony.
