The images in the paintings of Ivan Pokidychev radiate light and warmth - symbols of life, love, hope. Light and warmth hold an important place in any culture and value system. The heroes of Ivan Pokidychev's paintings seem to glow from within; they are loving and internally strong, full of hope and vulnerable. The artist's language is inspired by thermography: creating images using an infrared thermal camera. The higher the temperature of the object, the brighter its infrared radiation. In the artist's works, warm light symbolizes the energy of life that flows from one figure to another, sometimes spreading widely around, and at other times fading in the presence of cold and darkness. The characters in the paintings are young, beautiful, and full of life, which manifests itself in the form of warmth and light, while existential themes of darkness, uncertainty, and the anticipation of death are present in the works. This eternal contrast is the central theme of the exhibition. For more details, visit the official website. A small beautiful event Photo: provided by the organizer Serenity Nostalgia for eternity
