Victoria Meretskaya, graphic artist, member of the Union of Artists and illustrator of a number of books, will present an exhibition entirely dedicated to the St. Petersburg summer.
Tender feelings for the stingy, specific, but still magical summer months in their own way prompted Victoria to create this touching series. The works from this exhibition were painted at different periods of the artist’s life. Despite the seeming unambiguity of the stated topic, this is a very personal story: being inseparable from the very essence of book illustration, Victoria’s paintings seem to be saturated with a huge number of images that leave unwritten text somewhere outside the brackets. Plots seem to become text: people and situations, the totality of which just forms memories. Often, windows are at the center of the plot as a separate symbolic element.
The artist equates the window with the screen. A thin, fragile, transparent screen that connects two worlds at once. The first is the inner world of a person living in an apartment, where objects on the windowsill tell about him: flowers in pots, pieces of walls and the color of wallpaper. The second world opened up outside, and it is not so lyrical. In the artist’s graphic sheets, the "world outside" often works as a background that complements and completes the personal story that appears in the foreground. But sometimes these worlds change places.
