Exhibition of Ekaterina Kondrashina "Multi-Colored Palette" Automatic translate

From February 19 to March 3, 2019 in Lavrushinsky Lane, in the cozy halls of the Volga branch of the Russian Academy of Arts, will be held the annual exhibition of works by Ekaterina Kondrashina and her students.

This time, Ekaterina Kondrashina, known to most connoisseurs of art as a painter, will present to the audience not only oil paintings, but also the graphics that have been the result of recent creative trips, made in the original author’s technique, filled with colored markers. Pastel juicy still lifes and bright bouquets of flowers harmoniously resonate with mountain landscapes and open the artist’s inner world as well as possible. Sincere and sensual works with recognizable individual handwriting are loved by professionals in Russia and abroad.

The name of the exhibition was not chosen by chance. “Multicolored Palette” - a variety of styles, techniques, creative ideas, the difference in the tasks completed by students. Here are gouache compositions, watercolor illustrations for fairy tales, landscape sketches of oil and tempera, plasticine painting, bright stained glass works, batik paintings, full-scale productions and graphic tasks made by felt-tip pens and markers. Yes, the geography of the Palette studio has expanded significantly in recent years. Academic training in the basics of visual literacy is divided into three levels. The first is the preparatory block, where preschoolers and children go to receive a general, more extensive and familiarization course in various artistic areas (painting, drawing, stained glass, modeling, quilling), lessons are held in the south of Moscow. The second stage is classes in the walls of the art academic lyceum at the Russian Academy of Arts, where basic training is being done for those who enter this art school. The third stage - preparation for art colleges, institutes and other creative universities is held on the basis of the creative union of artists of Russia.

In addition to the works of the students and the author of the project, Ekaterina Kondrashina, amazingly thin in color watercolor sheets by teacher Anna Pylaeva are also presented.

The works of the studio’s graduates, now students of the Surikov Institute and the College of Art and Humanities, are combined with studies by students of the Art Lyceum and perfectly complement this colorful palette.

This exhibition shows the diversity of the creative flight of children’s imagination, the professionalism of teachers and the acquired skills and knowledge of older students. The variety of incarnations of seemingly simple themes and plots is amazing! At past exhibitions, art connoisseurs and art historians were amazed at the exquisite workmanship of small artists. Some works can argue with adult paintings by famous masters.

In addition to studio work, the exhibition also features open-air sketches and sketches made in foreign trips of the Palette studio. Outreach classes greatly expand the horizons of students, instill a love of the profession, teach a rigorous study of nature. So the audience will be able to see the eastern flavor of China, the architectural beauty of Hungary, the grandeur of ancient Italy. All these places were visited by young artists with their creative mentor and teacher Ekaterina Nikolaevna. All these countries hosted international creative contests and exhibitions, where travel participants took an active part and occupied almost the entire winners podium. E. N. Kondrashina gushes with interesting ideas and new ideas, the guys who fell into this creative whirlpool will always receive an inoculation of love for beauty and are charged with this energy. Also, the students of the Palette studio constantly participate in art competitions and exhibitions, collecting for themselves the much-needed portfolio for adult life.

How much the graphic differs from the painting, so Yekaterina Nikolaevna Kondrashina is unlike another beautiful studio teacher, Anna Vladimirovna Pylaeva. Two teachers of different temperament, but with one artistic academic base, complement each other perfectly, giving their students a classical art education. The painter Kondrashin and the graphic artist Pylaev create a symbiosis of a single school and different, but very powerful art institutes.

It is very important that along with the students’ works, the works of their teachers are also exhibited. So the learning process continues. The need to clearly demonstrate HOW TO DO THIS particular moment of the task smoothly embodied in a new idea. So video lessons were created on YouTube, where everyone had the opportunity to join not only the studio, but also to see lectures and go on creative trips.

Within the framework of the exhibition, it is also planned to hold workshops on stained glass and batik, study tours for students of Moscow Central Administrative Schools and art lectures will be held.

The exhibition is open daily from 12-17.00, except Saturday and Sunday.
