How is life in the new world, where it has become so difficult to travel? Where are the walls - explored, the routes - trodden, where in the restrictions of movement can you find freedom for the imagination? Where a white sheet of rough watercolor paper is a whole world that already contains all the images. You just need to hear who wants to appear today: the mysterious spirit of the Venetian gondola, the salty wind on the wings of a noisy flock of seagulls, a dreaming angel counting snowflakes? Let's find out what awaits us! This time, amazing watercolors by Irina Potapenko - animator, illustrator, storyteller and teacher from time to time - were placed on the white walls of the exhibition space of the Bleshunov House. Traveling with an easel under the ultramarine skies, Irina draws the world a little on the edge, where cities and borders melt, and the fairy tales that live there come out to chat. These stories will be about mysterious Venice, with its canals, bridges, angels and carnival, and in the footsteps of the Venice Biennale, living white marble also came out to breathe the morning wind over the canals and dissolve in cool water. About incredible Georgia. We will walk under the skies of Tbilisi, the embankments of Batumi, and from a bird's eye view we will see a toy Sighnaghi, where miniature nuns fly like jackdaws. Touching Chernigov will let you into your memories. Yes, and Odessa is the most real that is shown only to those who love her very much - she will stroke her feet with soft cat hair, look slyly with golden eyes from the thickets of the garden, chirp like a flock of birds on the slopes above the sea.We invite you to an imaginary journey through all these amazing places together with illustrated fairy tales, Irina and watercolors to the communication and exhibition space of Apartment # 6 this Thursday, August 13, from 17:00! More than 60 watercolors are already waiting for the audience
