The
exhibition presents the oeuvre of Andrei Bodrov - the contemporary
graphic artist from Saint-Petersburg. The artist's works of various
genres and themes including the image of contemporary city, nature,
the world of objects that surround us were shown earlier at the
artist's personal exhibitions in Saint-Petersburg, Kazan, Ufa,
Rybinsk and other cities in Russia and overseas. The exhibition at
the State Russian Museum includes around 90 works, mainly landscapes
and still lives, drawn during the last decade in such techniques as
dry-point, aquatint and etching. The masterly command of these
techniques helps Andrei Bodrov to find the right proportion between
the exact and the abstract, conventional. The individuality of the
artist is easily and naturally revealed in his ability to turn to
advantage the expressiveness of the white paper and in artistic
nature which helps him to put on it fine crossing strokes and light
and delicate or intensive, energetic lines. Andrei Bodrov is highly
skilled in directing composition and space of the graphic sheet. It
surely helps him to reveal secret emotional and figurative sides of
the image in every single motif.
The
exhibition is organized with the support of the Gallery KHANKHALAEV |
