Leonid Kolibaba. Sculpture and Drawings

Staraya Ladoga (From the Varangians to the Greeks). Modello. 2004. Bronze
16 September 2022—23 January 2023

This exhibition will acquaint visitors with the work of Leonid Kolibaba, a renowned St. Petersburg-based sculptor, graphic artist and educator, and member of the Ozerki Artists’ Village informal art group. It will spotlight approximately 70 of the artist’s sculptures and graphic artworks from over the years, exploring his most frequently revisited subjects: people’s everyday lives and the world they live in. The works are of a philosophical and mythological bent, focusing on themes such as history, war, power and faith, and invoking images of Christian saints, literary characters, and his contemporaries. Kolibaba accords a special place in his art to the subject of maternity and the image of Isis, which he uses in multiple permutations as a symbol of “the beginning of all beginnings”, encompassing all stages of human life from conception to death. Through images with multiple meanings, Kolibaba also explores inviolable spiritual truths in his series of watercolours, monotypes and mixed media works.

Leonid Kolibaba’s thematic series draw on ancient mythology and folklore, with allegoric images filled with the earthly and cosmic energies that sustain the world of living nature. This goes a long way towards explaining Kolibaba’s love of wood, a medium most conducive to an object’s harmonious interaction with the environment.

30 paintings from the life of Peter the Great

9 June 2022—9 August 2022

The exhibition “30 paintings from the life of Peter the Great” is taking place on the Field of Mars in Saint Petersburg. The project is a reconstruction of an exhibit that was held 150 years ago at the same location and is dedicated to the 350th anniversary of the first Russian emperor. Fourteen original paintings from the 1872 exhibition were discovered in the State Russian Museum’s funds. They were digitally restored and will be exhibited in the form of outstanding quality canvas prints. The honour to fill the gaps and create modern interpretations of the same historical subjects was granted to the students, alumni and professors of Saint-Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts.
