"Cherry Forest" introduces the public to the most significant domestic artists. One of them is Vladimir Brainin. His works are kept in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, the Dresden Gallery and dozens of other collections.
Vladimir Brainin's "Open Letter" is painting and short texts. They tell how the image of the city is formed from the prospects of arches and lanes, stucco details, reflections in puddles. These are not so much landscapes of a metropolis or dreams of the past, but rather polemical statements on the topics “what is Moscow” and “who owns the city”.
The exhibition features almost 50 paintings, of which 8 stories about the city are included in the exhibition: about time and memory, about moisture and reflections, about how the artist was born, about fragments and details, about life and ruins, about big in small, about rays and verticals, about how to be inside Moscow. Each pictorial plot is accompanied by a text on the "postcard". Hence the main meaning of the name of the exhibition - after all, earlier those that were sent without an envelope were called “open letters”: the address and words were written on the back of the card.
Another interpretation of the concept of "open letter" is an appeal addressed to society. First, Brynin suggests thinking about how the city, the space of transformations, is replaced by a mechanical environment of movement and consumption. Secondly, pay attention to how human destinies leave traces - in the portraiture of houses, the roughness of plaster lion masks, in the “life lines” of plaster cracks, the inverted world of reflections. There are no residents and passers-by in Brainin's Moscow, but this emptiness is inhabited.
Life is surprise and joy, fear and hope are physically tangible - in the tension of the air between the houses, the expectation of sounds. The artist himself speaks of his work as follows: “When I paint a picture, I am busy with work, I fulfill my internal obligations that have matured in me, as in some tool. Everyone now has a certain excuse: illness, children, money is needed...
Everyone has forgotten that no one has ever promised money and success in life for pictures. Rather, it is a gift of fate - you can do this, a fatal gift! Hence the deep meaning of the name of the exhibition: an open letter, because the artist not only continues the line of his own discoveries of the city, but also calls on everyone to find and create their own Moscow.
The exhibition is open until June 20. Free admission. We are waiting for you on the 3rd floor of the 1st line of GUM.
