The history of Russia becomes material for contemporary painting: Viktor Matorin addresses key epochs, rulers, and monuments of the past. The exhibition connects large-scale historical themes with architectural motifs and landscapes. At the center of the project is the modern artist's perspective on the events that shaped Russian statehood. The heroes of Viktor Matorin are Dmitry Donskoy and Peter I, while the plots include the Battle of Kulikovo, the unification of Russian lands around Moscow, and the establishment of the domestic fleet. The exhibition is divided into four parts. The first introduces the author's professional path and his museum work. The second focuses on the events of 1380, embodied in Matorin's canvases. Next, attention shifts to architectural heritage: Kolomenskoye and Izmailovo appear in the paintings, linked to royal history and the painter's long-term work with these places. Izmailovo has inspired the author for over 15 years, so alongside large-scale reconstructions of the past, intimate landscapes emerge. The transition from a major event to a specific place shows how memory is preserved in architecture and the surrounding space.
