The opening of the exhibition of a contemporary Belarussian artist Andrei Karpenkov “The space of flowers” took place on July 14th.
The series of abstractions, created by the author during the last five years were presented. A dominating character in the exposition is flowers symbolizing the beauty of the nature, emotions of a human, a desire to share with joy and warm. Pictures of bunch of flowers, flourishing gardens, a character, which brings an idea of the hope, refreshment and continuous life circle, are on the canvases. A character of a tree, presented in different color interpretations, makes thinking over philosophical issues about time, process of growth, weakness and strength of life, its variability and constancy. Myriad of different colors water drops create an effect of flower plots that become woven together form the air and colors, spreaded images and compositions on the artist’s canvases.
