The unusual world of lofty and real images of the Otherness was represented in the paintings by Oleg Vysotsky, Alexander Maranov, Tatiana Turkulets, Igor Anisiforov, Nina Volkova, Galina Sokolovskaya, Feodosia Ivanova, Alexander Belov and many others.
The theme of Cosmism is deep and multifaceted like the Cosmos itself. Each artist's creativity is individual. Each of them has his own style and palette. But they are all united by love for Beauty and the same spiritual idea expressed in musical forms and colours of their paintings. These paintings help us realise the Eternal link between Cosmos and human being, and many other ideas.
The organisation of the exhibition «At the Borders of the Other Worlds» was facilitated by the Kaliningrad region Ministry of Culture, Kaliningrad Regional Museum «Art Gallery» and the Museum by name of Nicholas Roerich. It will be on view till June 5, 2011.
