We are glad to welcome you to our online art gallery "Art-Gatchina".
Our Mission - to show the Russia and the world that the term "modern art" and "province" are not as far apart from each other as it might seem
from the first glance.
Gatchina's modern art is affected by the proximity of St. Petersburg in conjunction with their own artistic traditions.
It's enough to just say that outstanding artists like Kramskoy, Shishkin, Vasiliev, Serebrakova did their work here.
A rich and colorful cultural life of Gatchina for more than two centuries gives a reason for it's residents to consider their city the cultural capital
of the Leningrad region.
Modern Art, is considered to be relevant and has strongly defined urban characteristics.
Provincialism in art, which we consider as an advantage, rather than lack of something, does not consist of vain attempts to emulate the wanderers, but in art, filled with genuine passion of life meaning of artistic image, in an aesthetic display of provincial living space.
That living space in which millions of mega-cities' residents hurry to plunge, rushing out of the city in their spare time.
Our project is a window into a wonderful art world, ready to open it's treasures to the lovers of beauty.
In this world there is a place for all currently-known styles - from realism to postmodernism, from academic to art-naive.
We do not restrict ourselves to the narrow geographic scope and we are excited to see new names on the pages of our site
that will become a discovery for the true connoisseurs of art.
The only condition that we set for the artists is the sincerity of the author, not subjected to corrosion in the quest for fame
and commercial success by the the price of selling out their creativity in a pseudo-conceptualist "search",
or working for the "general art consumer" market.
Ultimately the project "Art-Gatchina" was though out to be a kind of space where artists, collectors, connoisseurs of art and
like-minded people who equally need support and informational field can meet to implement their plans.
It is easy to buy a painting from one of the many online galleries but only here you can see how the works of easel and
monumental painting, drawing, arts and crafts of our artists "live" in real life interiors,
to get a consultation of a professional designer, decorator, to get acquainted with the author and see his/her work live.
Sale of paintings by contemporary Russian artists - the basis of our work.
In addition, you can order the artistic painting of walls for your home, restaurant or cafe.
You can please yourself and your family with unique and valuable gift, such as landscape and still life painting,
make an order of icons and portraits, decorate your interior with original dolls and masks.
So, until we meet on the pages of our site, and our exhibition projects.
