Nous avons le plaisir de vous convier au vernissage de l’exposition « LOST-FOUND », organisée par Tatiana MIRONOVA – curatrice et membre du Comité.
Ce vernissage aura lieu mercredi, le 15 mars 2023 à partir de 19 heures, dans l’espace du Comité, situé au 10, Quai Antoine 1er, Monaco ( au 1 ère étage). Le parking le plus proche est celui du Quai Antoine 1.
A travers ce projet artistique, Tatiana MIRONOVA nous invite à une réflexion sur les différentes cultures, traditions, valeurs spirituelles… Trois artistes participent dans ce projet – Masha SHUBINA, Egor ZIGURA, Toby WRIGHT.
The release of the international project LOST-FOUND will occur on March 15 at the Monegasque National Committee of the International Association of Plastic Arts at UNESCO (Monaco). The exhibition will include works on canvas by Ukrainian artist Masha Shubina, Monegasque artist Toby M. Wright, and sculptures by Ukrainian Egor Zigura.
The « Lost-Found » exhibition is a conversation between two cultures and unique art schools. The impact of traditions on today’s culture, including its spiritual values and sense of individual identity, is explored by artists. Additionally, for each master, modern methods and techniques for abstract thinking about the world of today are based on traditional artistic trends.
The Monegasque National Committee of the IAA was created in 1955. The Committee is under the Honorary Presidency of H.S.H. Prince Albert II, and the aegis of UNESCO. Its purpose is to promote the visual arts in the Principality and foster exchanges with artists from all countries. Today, the Committee supports Ukrainian artists and provides a platform for dialogue with the international community.
Toby.M.Wright created a variety of modern portrait and still life techniques by drawing on the traditions of the old masters, whose work he studied in Florence. The author employs a tattered carpet in a few of his works. This component adds more cultural heritage symbols and signs to his work. Modern portraits and still lifes gain philosophical depth and subtly psychological play from the background of the ancient carpet patterns.
Masha Shubina, a Ukrainian artist, searches for self-identification in the pattern and tones of the traditional women’s headscarf. In this case, the scarf represents the homeland and the spirituality of its citizens. Like a talisman, he has an effect on person, predicts their spiritual strength and courage, and captivates their curiosity in a tense world full of trials and contradictions. A tiny embroidery made from a diverse mix of napkins demonstrates the slow rate of growth in contrast to the spiritual wealth and invincibility of the Ukrainian nation.
Egor Zigura takes cues for his sculptures from the Awakening cycle from the ancient times, whose high aesthetic and moral ideals shaped the progression of world culture. The author attempts to make the world aware of the fragility of the harmony that has been built by man over many centuries by combining modern techniques into ancient images. However, the spiritual values instilled in civilization’s long-standing traditions and culture are strongly intertwined to our future.
