I'll tell you about one exhibition

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

Took the subway downtown on Monday and attended the opening of Moscow artist Alexander Savelyev`s exhibition.

Alexander Savelyev once saw in an abandoned 17th century church of the frescoes that had fallen of had fallen from a height and were lying in a heap on the floor. Large pieces of fresco painting on which fragments of Gospel stories could be discerned. Alexander wanted to show car and mercy to these fragments of sacred art. He could not save what was destroyed, but he was able to create his own works. In his studio, he began to erect a wall, creating fragments of a wall of different shapes. He covered these fragments with plaster and painted on the plaster with tempera and acrylic. The resulting works were bizarre, enigmatic fragments; they are traumatised, with barely discernible plots, something sacred. The artist presented sixteen such fragments to the public.
