These topics are reflected in water and its everlasting movement.
The exhibition in St Michael’s Castle will comprise more than 50 paintings accompanied with pieces of video art, created especially for this project.
Alexander Borovsky, Head of the Russian museum Department of contemporary art reflects on paintings of Ekaterina Vorona: “It can be stated that the optics of Ekaterina Vorona’s art contains a symbolical “glass”, in which the specific transforms into the mythopoetic and vise versa. Hence the suggestion of the images in her art, their charm.”
The exhibition is opening at 5 PM

26 April—1 July 2024
Ivan Vishnyakov is one of the leading artist of the 18th century, portraitist, mural painter, restorer and teacher. However, not much of the artist’s vast legacy, the result of thirty years of untiring creative activity, has survived to the present day. All the more valuable are the eleven surviving portraits in the collections of the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Museum of Vasily Tropinin and Moscow Artists of His Time, art museums in Tver and Rybinsk, and the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus.
The collection of masterpieces, chosen by the Russian Museum will allow you to make a first impression of the collection of the Russian Museum.
