One of the most spectacular areas of the programme is the
international exhibition project “Ideas and images of Leonardo da Vinci in the
works of modern craftsmen.”
Is artistic heritage of the great genius of the
Renaissance comprehensible to modern craftsmen?
Talent and skills of the participants of the international
project, combining loyalty to the traditions and determination to the future,
can embody their boldest ideas into both traditional and innovative forms and
materials. Form acquires new content, while a deep philosophical thought turns
a subject of art into a powerful tool of communication and interaction between
civilizations.
“An artist is as a magician, as a time machine: he can
either make, reconstruct a thing as a subject of the history of the past or
update, modify ideas in a way we perceive and apprehend them nowadays, and then
turn this perception into specific items… It is interesting to see and, quite
unexpectedly, discover that history is not a static moment as we got used to
perceive it, but that history never cease. Yesterday is today, and maybe even
tomorrow… The artist allows us to apprehend it specifically and
unconventionally. The artist himself is interested in solving probably the most
difficult problem facing him: to create something new, to express some abstract
idea…”
