Anniversary exhibition of Olga Tolstikova "For Peace" Automatic translate

In the exhibition hall of the Moscow Union of Artists on the Kuznetsk bridge, an anniversary exhibition of tapestries by artist Olga Tolstikova opens. The exhibition will feature a series of works devoted to wars. This is the result of the artist’s work on this topic from 2013 to 2018.

Most of the works of the cycle were exhibited in Sevastopol, Donetsk and Cherepovets. The exhibition also presents works on Russia.

“Wars, wars, wars…
They destroy humanity in us. Destroy us.
Indifference spreads like a virus.
And when you try to express a desperate call in a tapestry to end the war, the destruction of people, daily shelling - they recoil from you, as if from a plagued one.
The tragedy of war requires a more generalized approach, where its essence is revealed. And this is realism in the tapestries that I wove from 2013 to 2018, ”says the artist.
