Exhibition of Vladimir Potekushin Automatic translate

February 8 in the "Attic of Artists" opens an exhibition of Vladimir Potekushin. His paintings, which the artist himself calls “visual jokes,” are the best suited to spend the winter and meet the spring. Sincere and filled with good-natured humor, Potekushin’s paintings will become a good company for Pancake week tea parties with his family and watching the morning sun appearing in the sky earlier.

Possessing a vivid imagination and constantly starting to experiment, Vladimir Potekushin nevertheless retains his own recognizable style, and overlapping motifs connect all his paintings into a single, slightly surreal world, filled with unexpected events and amazing encounters. Potekushin does not think of himself as a philosopher artist and, above all, he wants to create a picture that is pleasing to the eye. He is not interested in ideas, but in the possibilities that form gives him. The artist, as if laughing, plays with perspective and volumes: through the light, delicate and funny paintings, one can see either an intelligent and subtly sensitive person, the creative tools of Vrubel and El Greco and the legacy of Russian icon painting, and sometimes just a girl with a cat. Watch her slyly squint.
