To whom it may concern

The “Thanksgiving” exhibition in Velikiy Novgorod

The “Thanksgiving” exhibition performed during the course of the project “The Common Cultural Space” was opened in the Museum of Fine Arts of the Novgorod Museum (St. Sophia Square, 2) on the 27th July, 2012.
The full members of our Academy Alexander Smirnov (Moscow), Yuri Popkov (Moscow) and Alexander Tikhomirov (Blagoveshchensk) took part in the exhibition organization. The President of the World’s Academy of Arts “New Era” Anatoly Silovgave a welcoming speech at the opening ceremony. He said that the exhibition had brought together the like-minded artists from the remote parts of the country, who preserved a friendly, cultural and spiritual connection. The common feature of their art is the search for the spiritual sources and retrospect to a national culture. Their works, carried out in various art techniques (such as pictures, shutter painting and sculpture) and made of different kinds of materials, give people the light of spiritual empathy and the authors’ passion.
The special guest Bedros Kirkorov rendered some of his songs.
Alexander Tikhomirov’s shutter painting is a modern branch of the religious painting rooted in the ancient Russian icon painting. A native of Moscow, graduate of the Stroganov School Department of monumental and decorative painting (G.Korzhev’s workshop), he came to the near-border city of Blagoveshchensk in the eighties. It was there that he established himself as a founder of the shutter painting genre. The master works with old wooden window shutters and that has-been material often helps the author in searching for a new subject. Hardly can anybody be left untouched by the holy faces on the shutters including those people who are quite far from the Orthodox culture.
The lyricism of Moscow artist Yuri Popkov attracts attention to his works. He paints the landscapes and still-life pictures with a gentle hand and certain irony. He likes the homeliness with its rich decoration, conciseness and graphic power, sincerity and humanizing meaning from the inside.
“The sculpture is an icon for the street that can be set in the open air.” With these words the sculptor Alexander Smirnov. expresses his attitude to the basic concept of his works. His art has been dedicated to the spiritual theme for twenty years already. His philosophy is revealed in a sculptural evocation of the saints and hermits, in his works on the biblical theme or parables, in the images of death and resurrection, judgment and penance, Good and Evil, in the plastic images of people looking for a way to the Heaven and spiritual purity.

Exhibition in Qiu Chuji

It is quite natural that Chinese art, by the right of the receiving party, was presented most widely. This was traditional ink and wash painting – nobody can beat people of the Celestial Empire with it, and calligraphy which the Chinese people place above other directions. They are sure that this art form is presented by impulses from the space transferred via an intermediary-artist and his brush.
"However, China is now so open to the world that we can find realism, neo-realism, impressionism and many other directions in the works of Chinese artists", Alexander Tikhomirov, a national artist of the Russian Federation, said. However, among hundreds of paintings it was possible to unmistakably guess what country and culture they represent.
Paintings of the Russian masters were brought to this exhibit by Liu Minciu, the director of the Museum of Russian art in Harbin, Honorary member of the World Academy of Arts “New era”. What is characteristic for this exhibition is that all the works represented are for sale. The pictures are still art subjects and not auction subjects.
