Russian Fairy Tales
Paintings by Ana Tzarev
On view December 8 – February 11
The Ana Tzarev Gallery is pleased to exhibit a series of paintings by Ana Tzarev inspired by the Russian fairy tales. To honor her Slavic heritage and the profound influence it has had on her art, Ana Tzarev has followed in the tradition of renowned Russian artists Bilibin and Kandinsky and created her own contemporary rendition of the Russian fairy tales she grew up with. Inspired by these fantastical stories and the Palekh boxes she collects, Tzarev recreates these magical scenes from her childhood imagination. This new series captures the characters, scenes, and sentiment of stories that have been cherished for centuries.
