RECEPTION: Friday, April 4th, 6 PM - 9:30 PMMarket Street Gallery: 1554 Market Street, San Francisco  Market Street Gallery announces an exhibition of California-based artists Nina Binnington, Tatiana Lyskova, and Inna Razumova. For each of these artists mythology is a focus and a point of departure. Coming from a similar cultural context (born and raised in Russia but in different cities - St. Petersburg, Kazan, Moscow), all three female artists now reside and work in the Bay Area. Their art ranges in approach from traditional to contemporary, representational to non-representational. It blends ancient, modern, cosmopolitan and personal mythologies in a variety of media: drawing, watercolor, printmaking as well as gilding on glass, textiles and video. The exhibition will include "Affectu Quem Secreto", an 8-minute digital video commissioned by the Krasnoyarsk Museum of Contemporary Art (Russia). The video is dedicated to the early 19th century California romance between the Russian explorer, Count Nikolai Ryazanov of Fort Ross, and Concepcion Arguello, daughter of the commandant of the Spanish Presidio of San Francisco. |
