On November 23, the opening ceremony was held art exhibitions of the Moscow abstract artist Nataly Sitnikova. The exhibition was based on large-scale studies and canvases from various series of paintings created by the artist over the past 15 years.
The exhibition was opened by Alexander Borovsky, Head of the Department of Modern Trends at the Russian Museum. The vernissage was attended by artists. Igor Tishin and Viktor Remishevsky and the artist's mother Olga Bulgakova.
Natalia combines in one project several "themes" that are important to her. She calls these themes criteria for self-determination. First and foremost, this is space—from the local geographical, with the specificity of a place, to a coordinate system that determines everything: both the landscape and the composition of the canvas. In this space appears a human character—not a "portrait," but rather a component part of the system. Next, "Laocoön"—interaction, the struggle for life within this system and absorption by the system, merging with it.
