May Part III: Exhibitions "Still lives" and "Sommerimpressionen"

With great pleasure I participated in two exhibitions held in my home country: "Still lives" (19th April - 30th Mai 2012) and "Sommerimpressionen" (22nd May - 30th June 2012). Both shows were organized by the Salve-Art Gallery in Leipzig.

The paintings I was invited to show were "First Spring", "Chit-chat'n", and "Summer Breakfast":






Here the two paintings who titled the shows: "Bloody Mary II" by Jura Bedic and "Birthday Party" by Alexandr Mukhodemeev-Boyarov


It was an honor to me to be included in a still-life show together with Jura Bedic, who has taught me so much on this subject when I was a student. Amongst the artists participating were also my dear friends and colleagues Elisabeth Andersson, Melissa Franklin-Sanchez, Sofia Alethe Romarck, Froydis Aarseth and Tasha Walle.

Leipzig is well-known as one of the cities in Germany, that is very beautiful and rich in culture and history. Richard Wagner, Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy have spent part of their life here and have influenced the city's importance in music significantly. The Opera and the "Gewandhaus" are famous. Also many philosophers as for example Friedrich Nietzsche or poets and writers as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe have lived here. Wonderful location!
