\"The art of French cinema <\/em>
\nImplies a car, a conversation in the sun, <\/em>
\nA fate broken like a biscuit, <\/em>
\nA meeting of a man with a woman who is not his, <\/em>
\nAnd then with a woman who smokes on an empty stomach. <\/em>
\nThere must be many more moments <\/em>
\nFrom which a headache tablet <\/em>
\nMight dissolve right into the air. <\/em>
\nAnd in the finale, when everyone gets some kind of chance, <\/em>
\nThey send a boy for wine, and he <\/em>
\nSpends it all on confetti...\"\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Sergey Timofeev<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And if you want to understand what the art of Provence cinema is, add to this the waves of the azure sea, endless lavender fields, the noise of the ports, mountain switchbacks, picturesque vineyards and the ringing trills of cicadas... Provence has always been\u00a0\u00a0an inexhaustible source of inspiration for writers and directors.<\/p>\n

That is why the gallery \"Kvartira S\" decided that the theme \"Cinema in Provence\" would be a fine idea for a series of paintings!<\/p>\n

From 15 April to 14 May the Russian gallery \"Kvartira S\" organised at the hotel \"Hostellerie La Farandole\" its second international art project. This time the theme of the plein air sessions and the two-week exhibition was \"Cinema in Provence\".\u00a0\"17966107_801948109970885_7180949913293880654_o\"<\/p>\n

\"18010286_799968053502224_7530345449981823401_n\"<\/p>\n

Over 15 days the gallery artists - Slava Likhachev and Ekaterina Pugacheva - visited\u00a0the locations where masterpieces of world cinema were made and created their own painterly masterpieces.\u00a0The series of engaging plein air sessions included a visit to the station where the first film in the world was shot, the town of Gordes, made famous by the film \"A Good Year\", the picturesque road in Cassis along which the hero of \"Taxi 2\" raced, and many other places familiar from the films.<\/p>\n

Ekaterina Pugachyova.<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>Born and based in Moscow. She graduated from art school and the Russian State University for the Humanities, and later completed the Interior Decoration course at the British Higher School of Art and Design. For several years, she has designed public spaces for bars, restaurants, and shops. She is deeply devoted to art. She is currently studying at Moscow artist Andrey Sharov\u2019s studio.<\/p>\n

I do not think of this as a project. I want to immerse myself in the rhythm of life in these places, dividing the day into before and after noon. The Italians call everything that unfolds around midday \u201cdolce niente.\u201d That is how I imagine the mood of this journey. By immersing myself in this mood, I can share my emotions through colour, light, and the line that divides them\u2014shadow. I would like to convey to the viewer a feeling that can only be experienced by living in Provence...<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Slava Likhachyov.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0He began painting in early childhood\u2014attending art school, art college, and the Stroganov Institute. From 1997 to 2013, he lived and worked in San Francisco, where he participated in group exhibitions and won various design competitions. He paints landscapes, sketches, caricatures, and fantastical scenes, working primarily in watercolour.<\/p>\n

I am delighted to have been given this wonderful opportunity to visit Provence! It is both fascinating and thrilling to immerse myself in the vivid colours and heady fragrances of this corner of France, to breathe the air once breathed by the great artists C\u00e9zanne, Van Gogh, and other Impressionists. I believe the palette of Provence will bring new colours to my art. The theme \u201cCinema in Provence\u201d is also very compelling. I am watching films shot there and counting the days until the journey.<\/em>
\nI plan to take a deep breath so that, by 29 April, I can \u201cbreathe out\u201d\u00a0my impressions\u00a0of Provence.\u00a0<\/em>
\nI would like to try painting a watercolour using white and red wine...! <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Andr\u00e9 Laban.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Special guest and honorary participant of the exhibition. An artist, cameraman, and engineer-inventor who worked on Jacques Cousteau\u2019s \u201cOdyssey,\u201d lived at a depth of 100 metres for an entire month, filmed and photographed underwater, studied the sea, and fell so deeply in love with it that he began painting underwater.\u00a0ADME article about Andr\u00e9.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the exhibition on 29 April, Andr\u00e9 will present ten of his canvases.<\/p>\n

\n

People sometimes ask me: \u201cHaven\u2019t you grown tired of painting the same picture?\u201d But in fact it is not the same picture. It is blue, I grant you that. Yet the sea, as the poet said: \u201cThe sea is eternal in its renewal\u2026\u201d. And though the waves follow one upon another, they are not the same. I have heard from several people that my canvases convey energy\u2026 The sea holds immeasurable energy\u2026 This energy, this mad energy of the sea\u2014perhaps it imparts a share of its energy to me? And perhaps it is through the paintings that I manage to pass it on to those who look at them?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The event took place\u00a0in the grand hall of the restaurant at\u00a0the hotel La Farandole<\/a>.
