Provincial Pictures. Paintings and Graphics
State Museum of History of Saint Petersburg represents the exhibition of
works by Vladimir Lubarov "Provincial Pictures" (paintings and graphics).
Lubarov wants to descry things which are behind the dilapidated front of
provincial life: sometimes touching, sometimes fun and in other times a
little bit terrifying. Elegant one-colourness and energy fullness of his way
of painting make naive world monumental and take it to another level of
epos. Laws of real life are easily destroyed by metaphysics laws, details
become symbols. Together with paintings there are also graphical works on
display.
