On April 27, DiDi Gallery presented the exhibition Tatyana Glebova (1900–1985) — renowned Leningrad artist, pupil of Pavel Filonov, comrade and wife Vladimira Sterligova.
Tatyana Glebova worked for sixty years, the "bodies" and "souls" of her works changed, but her goals and intentions remained consistently serious and spiritually grew. She believed that artists can save souls with their paintings, and she believed that true art is always religious, because the creative spirit in a person comes from God.
On exhibition The exhibition features works from the 1950s-1970s, in which one can find several themes characteristic of the artist. These include the "fixation of an element of eternity" in the 1950s portraits, Sterligov's surrounding geometry connecting the earthly and heavenly worlds in the 1960s landscapes, and the concept of "promusic" that took shape by the 1970s, which organically led to "flying forms" and "a sense of otherworldly heights."
You can find detailed information and read an article about the exhibition at in the "Exhibitions" section.
