Arkady Lodyanov

“The whole series: medals, bas-reliefs, plaques have a stylistic unity. The plane fills the most important thing - the head, face. There are no auxiliary, narrative elements. “The spiritual principle is considered by the authors as the main quality of the work,” says Elena Kabunova, head of the gallery, art critic, “the artists focused on a deep study of the plasticity of the human face and its spiritual essence.”

The choice of the name for the exhibition is not accidental. In the 70-80s. Natalia and Arkady Lodyanov did not miss a single transmission of the writer Mark Sergeyev “Connected Fates with Irkutsk”. At one of the literary meetings, they met with the writer, and Mark Davidovich became a frequent and welcome guest in their creative workshop. He planned to prepare a television story from the "workshop where the stone comes to life." And today, artists with their work continue to tell a story that was once begun by a writer.

The exhibition will open on Tuesday September 27 in the Gallery of Sculpture of the Irkutsk Art Museum at the address: st. Sverdlov, 16. Entrance to the opening is free. Beginning at 15.00. The work of the exhibition “Irkutsk-related Fates” will last until October 30, 2016.
