The famous Belarusian avant-garde artist Vladimir Akulov is a successor to the traditions of Kazimir Malevich and Marc Chagall. His works are particularly relevant today, as they are inherent in the picturesque dynamics of our rapidly changing times, expressive colors, unexpected shapes and non-trivial solutions.

His works are represented not only in museums, but also in private collections in Belarus, Russia, Belgium, Poland, Germany, Italy, Ukraine.

The offered exhibition features the works of large-scale thematic cycles "Masks and Images", "War", "Great men", "Animalistic cycle", "Football" etc. Landscapes, still lives, portraits of historical figures, self-portraits, as well as animalistic images of unusual animals, for example, with human eyes. The experiment, associativity and bright impressions are waiting for the viewer! Here’s the "unreal" reality of Vladimir Akulov that you can touch and enter in. The exhibition will run till 1 May, 2017.

The event starts at 17.00, in the gallery “Labyrinth” (3rd floor).
The date of end of the exhibition may be changed.
