Exhibition of Yuri Sapozhnikov "Seasons" Automatic translate

From March 10 to April 9 in the Attic of Artists an exhibition of Yuri Sapozhnikov "Seasons" is held. Just six months ago, Yuri moved to St. Petersburg from the Krasnoyarsk Territory and at the exhibition will present landscapes that he painted in Siberia and in parks of the Leningrad Region.

Most of Sapozhnikov’s landscapes are painted in the open air, in any weather he keeps a sketchbook, paints and a bicycle on hand. Even the winter frosts do not frighten the artist, as he says, “I take a coffee pot and go!” This is because the most interesting thing for Yuri is not so much beautiful views, clearings and mossy park stones, but rather the state of nature. Mood, changeable color and light reflected from snow caps on trees. Not surprisingly, Monet and Cezanne calls his teachers Sapozhnikov.

In Siberia, Yuri was more attracted by untouched nature, and after settling in Pushkin, he became interested in suburban parks. Alexander Park, Catherine, but the most beloved is Pavlovsky, combining natural naturalness and the imprint of time, the application of a human hand. Stone bridges, pavilions, galleries and seemingly random park views - on the sketches of Yuri Sapozhnikov you can find all that he calls part of the special atmosphere of St. Petersburg.
