WIND OF PLEIN-AIR - a personal exhibition of Bato Dugarzhapov opens in The State Museum of the East

July 19 at the State Museum of the East opens a solo exhibition of the popular Russian artist Bato Dugarzhapov "Wind of Plein Air." The exhibition is timed to the output of an art catalog with the same name (which, along with the artist's works, can be purchased at the ArtRussia gallery).

A painting "one of the most famous Impressionists of our time" attracts a bright worldview, a manner of writing and color. This is especially evident in landscapes where the artist manages to express the special tenderness, subtlety and charm of nature. A light haze of dawns, the charm of quiet evenings, the mystery of evening dusk - this is Russia, which found a poetic reflection in the artist's canvases.

The artist as if creates the beauty of the world right in front of the viewer, creating the effect of co-presence. The extraordinary beauty of color, the harmony of colors, the bright transmission of light give an exciting and unique charm to his paintings. Soft air muffled the bright colors of flowers and the intense green of the grass, white, lilac, pink flowers seem to be enveloped in the thinnest layer-the haze of air dust. An armchair, a table, an umbrella and a snow-white bird fit easily into the bright green of the grass.

Each work of Bato Dugarzhapov, for a long time capturing our attention, remains in memory, again and again rising before our eyes. This, probably, is the power of true talent. Infinitely in love with the outside world, the artist seeks to empathize with the audience.

The painter says that "in the choice of the artistic direction, I was influenced by the reality that surrounds us: it is mostly in the style of impressionism ... Sometimes I meet in the nature of the insertion of abstract art, or harsh realism, or pure graphics." All the styles that exist are real are present in the world around us, therefore they arise as the endless languages ​​of the disappeared peoples. "

Bato Dugarzhapov was born in 1966 in the small town of Duldurg Chita region of the Trans-Baikal Territory. He graduated from the Moscow Secondary Art School (MShSH named after Tomsk), then the Surikov Institute. He began to show himself during his studies at the MGHI: at the All-Union Youth Exhibition in 1990, in the halls of the Drouot auction house in Paris. Participated in the painting of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and in the painting of the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God at the Kazan railway station in Moscow.
