Метаморфозы снов: из прошлого в будущее

 

Пушкинское общество Америки – старейшая организация, созданная в 1935 году, приглашает вас 30 июня на Арт гала – фестиваль: “Метаморфозы снов: из прошлого в будущее” –  выставка и концерт, посвящённые 218-летию со дня рождения А. С. Пушкина, праздник Русской-Американской культуры.

В прошлом году в Пушкинском обществе Америке сформировался коллектив замечательных художников, которые под руководством арт- директора Елены Иосилевич разработали план будущих интересных проектов.

“Идея наших проектов привлечь как можно больше внимание людей разных национальностей к русской культуре и культуре в целом. Познакомить аудиторию не только с классическим жанром живописи, поэзии и музыки, а также показать новые концепции, направления в искусстве.

30 Июня мы открываем сезон “Месяц Пушкина. Фестиваль Русской-Американской культуры”. Мы планируем проводить этот  фестиваль ежегодно. В мероприятии примут участия как русскоговорящие так и американские художники, музыканты и писатели работающие в разных жанрах” –  сообщает Елена Иосилевич.

Кому-то снится прошлое с его ностальгией по молодости, кому-то занимательно прочертить перспективу в будущие миры. Такие философские и культурологические изыскания ведут в своих мастерских наши художники и музыканты, профессионалы и любители прекрасного, признанные поэты и начинающие авторы. За годы своей многолетней истории общество имени Пушкина сумело объединить творческих людей разных поколений.  “Метаморфозы снов: из прошлого в будущие”- это идея единства творческих людей, выражение мыслей и чувств  философа и мечтателя, совокупность традиций и инноваций.

About the Artists:

Yelena Kimelblat

Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Yelena never formally learned how to paint. Yelena Kimelblat started to paint in
2008 and art became a means for Yelena to share with others her vision of life. Yelena does not call
herself an artist. She is “a woman, who paints”. Yelena is avoiding any identification, any, even the most
pretty labels. She was not afraid to look inside herself – into the void, where you can perish or get
everything. Yelena got everything – she started to paint.
Yelena: “I never painted before in my life and couldn’t even imagine that I would start. The root of my
creativity stems from a desire to live a long life free from unhappiness, awe before the awesome beauty
of the natural world and the desire to include this beauty within my own life and say to others “I see it
this way!”

*
Artist Statement: My paintings represent a synthesis of two divergent directions: surrealism and reality.
All of my works are improvisations on an undefined theme.
When beginning a new piece, my imagination takes over and I randomly place my paints on the canvas. As a
result, a new work is born. I fell this way of working is true creativity. It is not the thoughtless copying or
imitation of known “Masters of Brush”.
I purposely do not give any special title to my paintings, only sequential numbers. By doing this, I give to the
viewer freedom of interpretation and the privilege to choose his own title for the painting. My intention is to force
the viewer to get intimately in touch with his own inner reality and find something truly his own.
I like to call this process an “Initiation into the Mystery”.
Everything that is shown in paintings: things, people, places and the spectrum of hues used; may be called
“Subconscious projection”. This is the world of emotions, of a life lived despite the pain of loss and the sorrow
of a happening that did not happen. To say it simply: “this is the life of man and his inner world”.
During past five years I created five cycles of artistic works consisting of twelve paintings each. They are
entitled: “Vision”, “Dream”, “Genesis”, “Dreamland”, “Time” and “Tale”. At present, I am working on new cycle
entitled: “Still Life”, “Narration”.
