Estonian sculptor Kirill Grekov, invited by Rumak Art Gallery, arrived a month before the start of the exhibition and created a 2-meter marble sculpture dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey. Art lovers will have a unique opportunity to watch the creation of a work live during the days of the exhibition.
The sculptor graduated from one of the best academic schools in the world — the St. Petersburg Art Academy. Repin.
Another gift for Istanbul residents from the gallery is a personal exhibition and a live master class from the famous Russian artist Alexander Shadrin at one of the stands of the gallery. Alexander is one of the most outstanding artists of the modern Russian impressionistic school of painting.
