In the memorial house-museum of A.E. Tyulkina opened an exhibition of paintings by Mikhail Spiridonov. The exhibition has about 30 works of different years, which represent a small retrospective of the work of this remarkable artist.

The cozy chamber halls of the museum house more than ever allow you to immerse yourself in landscape painting. After all, the house belonged to Alexander Erastovich Tyulkin, the founder of the landscape genre in the Republic, whose works are always presented in a permanent exhibition. In the 1950s and 60s, the oldest artist revealed the whole uniqueness of the Ufa and Ural nature, and created that image of our region in painting, which has developed in our minds, it seems forever. Mikhail Grigorievich Spiridonov is an artist of another generation, the so-called “seventies”, whose interests were not in the field of truthfully reflecting reality. On the contrary, their work can be attributed to the so-called metaphysical painting or magical realism. Representatives of these areas are characterized by careful elaboration of everyday and landscape details while emphasizing the features of romantic alienation, hidden symbolism, due to which the original motive turns into a kind of waking dream.

Mikhail Grigorievich, really working in the landscape genre, always moves away from the specificity of the depicted landscape. Motives remain recognizable - these are one-story houses, deserted streets of a provincial city, going nowhere, mysterious roads. But through the painting, which is built on silver and golden colors, the artist shows the viewer invisible worlds, other spaces hardly accessible to the average person. A mysterious glow interspersed with dark dips of darkness, all this attracts and fascinates! It is as if the artist removes the veil of everyday life and allows him to look with his eyes at this bewitching mysterious picture of being.

The exhibition of works by Mikhail Grigoryevich Spiridonov can be viewed on the street. Wave. 21 to July 18.
