Calligraphy 12 exhibition

Calligraphy 12 exhibition opens on December 22 at 18.00 in the Grand Hall of Sverdlovsk regional office of the Union of Russian Artists. The project will unite artists from Saint-Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk and Kazan in a single exhibition space offering the visitors to regard creative individuality and mastery of the artists. The project's goal is to unite and demonstrate modern achievements made by artists from various contemporary calligraphy schools, including lettering, book art, easel and ornamental art in a unified exhibition area.

The idea was originated by Olga Zhitenyova.

The exhibition will feature the following members of the Union of Russian Artists: Elizaveta Manerova, Andrey Mashanov, Olga Zhitenyova and Nina Kazimova, as well as calligraphy artists and designers: Gennady Pavlov, Lev Liberman, Nadezhda Khoroshilova, Nadezhda Aganina, Alexander Boyarsky, Anton Khaustov and Ayrat Khismatullin.

Easel and ornamental artists are frequent users of calligraphy in their works. Fine writing for those artists comes as a part of the artistic image. Calligraphy becomes a great fit to Liza Manerova's batiks and tapestries or Nina Kazimova's and Andrey Mashanov's etchings.

On the other hand, lettering being a contemporary design school (logos, imagery associated lettering or just fine writing) also makes the designers reach out to calligraphy and mastering this art school. The proofs of it can be seen in the works by designer artists Alexander Boyarsky, Lev Liberman and Anton Khaustov.

The project will travel around some major Russian locations such as Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Kazan and Krasnoyarsk where local calligraphy artists will be able to join the exhibition.

Calligraphy 12 in Yekaterinburg has become the first full-scale event of its kind for the last 20 years.
The event will run until January 15, 2017.
Admission free, open hours 10 to 18.
The Union of Russian Artists showroom:
Yekaterinburg, Kuybysheva street 97.
