Art Museum Named After V.P. Sukachev Prepares Exhibition of Local Painter, Graphic Artist, and Illustrator Alexander Sheltunov

The works will be on display starting March 3 at the Siberian Art Gallery. The exhibition is dedicated to the 65th anniversary of the artist's birth. The exhibition will feature around 70 paintings, some of which will be presented for the first time.

Irkutsk streets, houses, and Baikal are the favorite subjects of Alexander Sheltunov. The master's works are filled with emotional imagery and color.

The museum's collection includes seven watercolor works dedicated to the great lake. Two of them – "Fishing Days" (1981) and "Evening" (1979) – will be showcased at the exhibition.

Aleksandr Ivanovich passed away in 2008, but he managed to create his gift to his hometown – canvases that capture the ancient architecture of Irkutsk.

The exhibition will open on March 3 at 4:00 PM. A presentation of an album featuring 116 reproductions of the master's paintings, as well as his personal photos, is planned.

The exhibition will be available for viewing until April 3.
