Simultaneously there will be a Painting exhibition at The Russian Cultural Centre, Gorky Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram and at Kerala Lalithakala Akademi, Thrissur.
There will be an Art Camp at Thrissur comprising 5 artists from both Russia and India sharing their resourceful experiences.
Vernissage Art Gallery is a new initiative which provides an exclusive exhibition space for Russian Artists to showcase their creative talent in India.
Contemporary Russian artists have an increased exposure to current European artistic styles, unlike their counterparts in the early 20th century. The contemporary avant-garde artists have reinterpreted these styles by combining them with their own distinctive innovations thus providing new and exhilarating artistic experiments. The artists we represent range across many genres in contemporary Russian art, including figurative and narrative art, still life, landscape painting, surrealist, realist and portrait paintings. The exhibition is curated by Mody Thomas.
Art Exhibitions will be scheduled every year as ‘The Russian Week’. Cochin will be the hub and eventually the event will move to other major cities in India as well. In future the event will include performing art forms like music, Ballet, dance, opera, and drama.
