On November 5 from 12:00 to 20:00, Kvartira S gallery traditionally held a large seasonal vernissage showcasing new names and the most striking works by contemporary artists.
This time, IVanGogh — a restaurant and art space in the very heart of the capital — was chosen as the festive venue. The theme of the November celebration — "The Colors of Van Gogh" — was carried through the interior, the exhibition, and the rich program prepared by the organizers.
Thus, during the vernissage, entire families could take part in creating stained-glass paintings under the guidance of master Yulia Ivanova. Artist Aleksandra Sokolova, who worked on the film Loving Vincent, gave a master class and spoke about how the frames of the season's most talked-about premiere were painted. Art historian Nikolai Zharinov presented a film about the film and delivered a lecture on Van Gogh's work ahead of the picture's wide release on November 9. In the evening, IVanGogh restaurant chef Artem Martirosov presented a unique culinary show, "Broken Flowers." After that, bartender Archil Nergadze shattered alcohol myths during his "Absinthe Lessons." The gastronomic performance was accompanied by Good Music Corner and DJ Artem Goverdovsky.
"The Colors of Van Gogh" is the 5th seasonal vernissage organized by Kvartira S gallery in Moscow. Unusual in their "presentation," these exhibitions allow guests to immerse themselves at once in contemporary art, engaging educational programs, and creative events led by professionals of the highest caliber, capable of captivating even the most sophisticated viewer.

Before the screening, art historian and cultural scholar Nikolai Zharinov spoke about Van Gogh’s oeuvre. After the film, anyone who wished could ask Nikolai questions.
But that is not all! At 4:00 p.m. Alexandra Sokolova joined the audience — the artist, the only master from Russia who took part in creating the film "Loving Vincent". She shared her experience, spoke about how the film was painted and how each frame was made. Alexandra also gave a master class and held a prize draw among the guests.
