After the great success of Mile of Art celebrated in 2005 in the district of Hackney in London, this year the plastic arts event changed its name and venue to took place at the beautiful London Fields Park. The public that attended the event admired a splendid mixture of paintings, sculptures, ceramics, fashionable clothes, photographs and other art formats, including original works and limited editions for sale. The festival congregated a large crowd of people, partly due to the concurrence with the Spice Festival -Festival of Scenic Arts- that took place in Hackney at the same time.

Following the teresarius:promotors d'art’s philosophy, we gathered all our artists so they could meet each other on this lovely summer day. The gathering allowed them to discuss about art and its actual situation and to create strong links between them.

The expressionist work of this prolific artist is well-known and extremely admired across the country, and more and more, abroad.
Simplicity of composition, confident strokes, accuracy of the idea, lively colours, harmonic movement and transparency of light; these are the elements revealed from his work. All this, along with a strong but affable personality in constant evolution and full of surprises, makes Ángel Uranga a great artist and proves once again his great creative capacity.

We also organized a lottery with one of the Basque artist’s paper paintings as a closing event for the exhibition. The lucky winner was Rosa Asensio.

Her work, “Far from being a mere imitation of nature, is in fact an inspired imitation of nature itself”, as this artist from Castilla-Leon describes it. Her paintings are open art works  that possess a wise trickle of light and colour and a great Mediterranean sensuality.

Rocío Ahnert is a bachelor in Fine Arts by the Facultat Sant Jordi in Barcelona where she has been living since 1974 and works as a teacher of painting and drawing at the moment.  Her work has been displayed not only in several cultural scenes around the country but also in Germany, America and Holland.

The Ekaterinburg Modern Art Gallery together with TMK – Metallurgical Enterprises – the Sinara Foundation and Art-transe.com present this exhibition of Russian artists organized by teresarius: promotors d'art at the Art Gallery ESART in Barcelona.

“Russian Colours” is just a small part of the great art collection belonging to the Ekaterinburg Modern Art Gallery whose main objective is to give the world a better understanding of the modern Art in the Urals region of Russia. The exhibition has an international look, thanks to the congregation of different artistic trends and pictorial techniques. Nevertheless, the essence of the exhibition remains Russian and therefore distinct from the global artistic market. The exhibition displays the work of different artists in order to give the public a greater perspective on the art happening in the Urals at the moment.

Russian art is quickly paving its way into our country; several exhibitions are taking place in Spain at the moment: MALÈVITX’s exceptional retrospective at the Fundació Caixa de Catalunya, displayed at La Pedrera in Barcelona; “¡Rusia!”, the first and greatest exhibition of Russian Federation master pieces dated from the XIV century to nowadays; several exhibitions at the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao; and the exhibition “Vanguardias Rusas”, a tour to Avant-garde Art in Russia in the first third of the XX century organized by the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Fundación Caja Madrid.

Each artist uses a unique range of colours that reveals hidden emotions and lingers on the thin line between reality and fiction, and often explores the dark side of it. The painters make use of various techniques: from pastel and tempera to acrylic on paper and oil on canvas. By approaching the work of these artist one can realize of the modern perspective in its creative research; the creative process lies in the relationship between nature, artist and society.

The paintings are powerful; from this exhibition we will understand that Russian art is like vodka: strong, pleasant and penetrating, that first catches your eye to then hit your stomach with a warm and lasting sensation.
