Yury Peshkov Solo Art Exhibition

“Cyprus in Black & White”

 Solo art exhibition by Yury Peshkov at Exhibit8 gallery in Limassol.

Duration: 16 December – 7 January

The opening event of the exhibition “Cyprus in Black and White”, will be held on Friday, December 16, at 19.30 by Natalia Kardash, Publisher, Editor-in- Chief, Vestnik Kipra, Founder, Successful business Leaders’ Club.

The exhibition “Cyprus in Black and White” works as a tribute to Cypriot sceneries and the beauty of the fleeting moment. Yury Peshkov captures the local surroundings with affection that celebrates even the most ordinary details. Still views of nature, monuments and the city present a fixed and yet in constant movement world.

The artworks of the exhibition are created with the “Dry brush” technique which is considered a fine line between drawing and painting. Commonly, a bristle brush is used to apply pure oil paint pigment without an oil binder and a hard eraser can create highlights. A time-consuming technique that requires accurate execution from the artist but at the same time offers expressiveness, lightness, and volume.  Dry brush perfectly reproduces the effect of black and white photography and even the effect of airbrushing in the drawing.

Yury Peshkov was born in Leningrad in 1963. He grew up in an artistic environment and graduated from art school in Zviezdny City in 1980. In his youth, his favourite pastime was to make sketches in the open air with pencil and charcoal, drawing on every piece of paper.

The opening event of the third solo art exhibition by Renos Efesopoulos will be held on Friday, October 7, at 19:30, by Dr. Nadia Anaxagorou, Director of Cultural Services of the Municipality of Limassol.

The exhibition presents two artistic views of the same subject. The first approach “Glass Fence”, which has already been exhibited in Nicosia in 2015, features goats in front of a range of flat backgrounds in shades of blue and painted in oil. In the new approach “The Exodus”, the goats are presented in the natural environment but in a painting approach characterised by altered, intense and clear colours, and this time, using mixed media with the prevalence of acrylic inks.
