Christmas exhibition in the Gallery Kustanovich

Exhibition December 1, 2018 − January 31, 2019
Dmitry Kustanovich entered the history of art as the founder of a new style of painting - spatial realism. Spatial realism is the author's style of painting by Dmitry Kustanovich, in which the space depicted within the same plane and within the framework of the realistic method acquires the effect of three-dimensionality and dynamism through expressive means of painting.
From 1995 to 2018, the artist held more than 100 exhibitions, of which most were personal. His works are in galleries and private collections around the world.
The founder of spatial realism, Dmitry Kustanovich entered modern art as a master, who is distinguished by originality, recognizability, depth of content and a high level of performance.
In his works, the artist actively uses the expressive possibilities of texture, color, perspective construction. Kustanovich alternates the directions of the strokes in such a way that the plane of the picture turns into living matter, from which a certain objective image or phenomenon emerges. Objects in the artist's paintings are always connected by a single structure of space. In the paintings of the artist, the space is saturated with its own energy and has a definite structure, similar to the structure of organic matter. This type of space can be called "eccentric" - that is, interactive, seeking to go beyond the canvas, focused on close contact with the viewer.

In his work, the author turns to a wide range of topics, subjects and motifs and seeks to find the true depth and symbolic sound of the image.
The creative meanings of culture are expressed in the works of Kustanovich. The key ideas that are embedded in the works of the author have a deep connection with the traditional Russian artistic worldview and Russian religious philosophy.
He is one of the most popular contemporary artists. Dmitry Kustanovich received independent recognition from both art lovers and specialists in the field of art.
Dmitry Kustanovich is included in the history of painting as an artist who became the founder of a new style of painting - spatial realism, as an artist who “broke free of the bounded plane”.
The exhibition will be a kind of report of the artist to the audience about the work done in 2018 and earlier work. The exhibition promises to be truly spiritualized and will be able to deliver to the public the joy of touching the special magical atmosphere that reigns in the “northern capital” on the eve and continuation of Christmas.
As a gift for the New Year and Christmas for yourself and your loved ones, you can purchase in the gallery both original paintings and author reproductions with the artist’s original signature, natural leather products and various souvenirs with reproductions of Dmitry Kustanovich’s paintings.
