Exhibition of paintings of Nikolai Kormashov in the Haus
Gallery is reviewing, exposing 27 works from the artist\'s creation of the
last decade. |

Beginning of the creation of Kormashov remains in the
breaking 1960ies, when art searched as a counterbalance to the prevailing
realism new expressive means and a modern form. One key words of the priod
became so-called harsh style, one of the most pure followers of which was
exactly N.Kormashov. From that period originate powerful, monumental
compositions of generalised figures, stipulated rooms, contrasting colour
surfaces that seem almost contradictory to Kormashov\'s last years\' modest
paintings that outside seem almost closed, but inside carry a strong
spirit. |
|
In the late creation of the artist is realized his discrete
religious relationship towards the sensitive co-existence of nature and
man. A tribute to this theme is also the current exhibition of Nikolai
Kormashov \"The Hay Time\". Title of the exhibition is an idealized symbol,
mark of eternal sweet desire towards inexplicable, grass-scented
night-warm summer both inside one\'s head and heart.

Kormashov\'s sensitive paintings, being in their
simplicity almost exalted, are interpretations of the everyday life in
just that kind of summer nature. The artist\'s brush has perpetuated people
and moments in the country while longing for the eternity of all the
depicted - meadow before thunder, hay-mowers, a sunny garden edge, field
flowers, blossoming tree, broken eaves. In his landscapes Kormashov seeks
with nostalgia and spirituality that are only characteristic to him, the
way to pass the man\'s perfect emotion from the historical life
experience. |
