The exhibition "Monument" organized as part of the National Festival of Monumental Art opened at the "Labyrinth" gallery (3rd floor) on July 6.
Ms Aksana Knizhnikava, Director General of the National Library of Belarus, opened the event with a welcome speech. Experts of the Belarusian Union of Artists shared their opinion with the public: Ms Natalja Sharanhovich, First Deputy Chairperson and art historian, Mr Vasil Zianko, Chairperson of the Monumental Art Section, curator of the national festival and artist, Mr Siamion Damarad, member of the public association, monumentalist painter.
The exhibition features virtuoso, multifaceted, light and perfect artworks by Kamil Kamal. The painter's art pieces combine the realistic with the unearthly, colours with contours, consonance and contradictions. Landscapes made by Siamion Damarad accurately convey the mood, weather, state of the world around – the colours of the stormy sky, the smell of the flowering garden, the sunny shine of snow, the gentle early spring and the modest late autumn. Historical painting, landscapes filled with feelings by Alies Susha has long become the author's recognisable trademark. The artist is known for the heart-warming and unconventional female images; warmth, kindness and rare sincerity amazingly combine in his works.
The artist of human emotions, Andrej Skitseu presents works relevant in any country, a theme unchanged through centuries, in time and space, understandable in any language. The master is sure that emotions have shades. With the help of a number of artistic techniques, he creates large-scale maps of the inner path of man, his insights in relations with other people. One of the most interesting Belarusian contemporary artists Siarhej Kryshtapovich is the author of non-academic works, which stand out with complex associative range, multi-layered perception, avant-garde, in which there is no place for realism, predictability, or standards. Andrej Kolha combines avant-garde and warmth in artistic images. Ordinary objects and characters are surrounded by unusual colours, plots, meanings. Local colour and unfailing courage organically cooperate in the author's painting.
