The basis of creativity Leo Tabenkin - genre picture - a rare day way of thinking in painting. Feature this is read in his works in antibytovom key. Renaissance grandeur of the heroes and at the same time, wild, sometimes coarse expression, heavy pressure of the flesh, made in the ordinary scenes of life, make the picture epic allegories. The most popular items of the artist - Grotesque images of animals, which symbolize the human passions, freedom, strength, pain and weakness. Heroines L. Tabenkin collected at this exhibition, is also metaphorical. We have before us all the way from the incarnation of female goddesses with individuals, assimilation of archaic masks correlation to personalize Bacchic frenzy.

First, it is already clear that the personal exhibition of Leo Tabenkin "That's a beautiful girl ..." in "Artifacts" will last until July 11. Vernissage will be held June 15 from 17.00 - at Prechistenka, 30 /2.
Name of the event, by the way, there is an ulterior motive .... It is, of course, a little provocatively (someone who can, and remember where it came from. But I will not recall).
In any case, now before us are not so favorite artist grotesque images of animals, and metaphoric incarnation of female image.
