The Grand Exhibition Hall of the Anna Akhmatova Museum in the Fountain House has opened the exhibition “The Spirit breathes where it wants to …” – paintings and drawings by St. Petersburg artist Alexander Nekrasov, Rosbalt correspondent reports.
Nekrasov throughout his creative life turns to gospel stories. Some of the works presented at the Akhmatova Museum have already been seen by viewers in Yerevan and Veliky Novgorod. But as the artist himself said, a number of works were created over the past two pandemic years – basically, these were years of seclusion, but also creativity.
“I lost many close friends and acquaintances during the years of the pandemic, my best friend died in Latvia from the coronavirus, these two years were not easy,” said Alexander Nekrasov. “And the works themselves, which are presented at the exhibition, both older and newer, are a manifestation of my attitude to the world, the search for God.”
The artist Anatoly Zaslavsky, who has known Alexander Nekrasov for many years, noted at the opening of the exhibition the connection between the medieval icon-painting tradition and the tradition of the Russian avant-garde in Nekrasov’s work.
Alexander Nekrasov in 1991 created the Tsarskoye Selo Collection Museum, which now has the status of a state museum. The museum collection includes works of the Leningrad and Moscow post-avant-garde of the 1920s and 1990s, which preserve the traditions of pictorial and plastic realism.
