February 20 in the gallery DiDi The opening of the first exhibition project of 2014 took place. The exhibition presented the early paintings (1971-1980) of the famous St. Petersburg artist.
Fans and admirers of the master's contemporary work got to see what his works were like "before expressionism," that is, before conceptual expressionism, within which V. Lukka has been working for about 30 years. The early paintings help to trace the artist's journey of finding his own expressive language and his theme. They lack the wildness, dynamism, and force of expressionism. The compositions and poses are generally static, and instead of painterly layers and complex relief-like color mixtures, there are rather large areas of smoothly applied local color.
