Moscow Romance, group exhibition with Moscow artists of the Association of Artists SENSUS, dedicated to the 850th Anniversary of the city, 30 April - 30 May 1997, Gallery K, London
Julia Galeeva was born in 1969.
She graduated from Moscow Architectural Institute and worked in the workshop of Professor Khrustalev. She is a member of the Moscow Association of Artists and International Federation of Artists UNESCO.
Her paintings combine the understanding of space through the eye of an artist and a trained architect. Attractive cityscapes executed in her highly individual manner and imaginative style are painted with a pallet knife, creating a thickly textured surface.
Julia Galeeva participated in numerous national exhibitions.
MOSCOW ROMANCE
In April 1997 Gallery K in collaboration with the Russian embassy and the Sensus artist association organized an exhibition to celebrate Moscow 850th anniversary.
This old ever young city was founded by Prince Jouri Dolgorukiy in 1147 and since then it has grown from a small town to one of the largest capitals in the world. It is an amazingly beautiful city, especially its old part, with its boulevards, streets, monasteries and churches that are wonderful in any season. The gold of the domes gave Moscow its famous name - ‘Golden’ or ‘Golden-domed’ City.
Ability to notice this beauty and show it to a viewer is a major task of an artist. The exhibition titled ‘Moscow Romance’ presented a wide selection of works by six leading Moscow artists who work mainly in the style of urban realism. Their paintings provide a historical reference to the ‘new’ old town. Visionary, poetic and colourful oil paintings by internationally known and younger artists brought to mind forgotten associations and images of Moscow. In every painting one can feel love to the city that carries an enormous charge of positive energy accumulated by generations.
