This is the another post I want to publish about Belarusian culture which I was discovering during my two-weeks-stay there in the end of April.

This time I do not want to write too much but I would like to invite you to look at those works.

"The winter clearness" by Igor Rimashevski doesn't look unique for the first sight. But someone who knows a little bit of political situation in  Belarus will notice that up to the roof of the yellow building there is the prohibited white-red-white flag. The guard lady was sitting in the Art House in Minski  in front of this particular work... she looked bored.

Those of you that have ever been to Minsk will regonise the KGB headquarter (the yellow building) and instead of a bust of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the KGB which was taken down in Moscow but still standing in Belarus, could notice someone similar to the national Belarusian poet - Janko Kupala.

If you havn't yet been to Minsk, imagine yourself as the backpacer tourist landing in the railway station in Belarus. Who do you meet? What do you see?

Igor Rimashevsky, To friendship

Igor Rimashevski was born in Minsk, Belarus in 1959. He graduated from the Minsk Art College in 1975 and from the Belarusian Art Academy in 1987.

Igor Rimashevski’s art is very poetic and narrative. His paintings are like magical fairy tales from everyday life, memories of youth and nostalgic dreams of a lost paradise. The fairy tale world of his work shows sincerity typical to the viewpoint of a child. Such realism mixed with magic, multiplied by a talented and brilliant performance, depicts scenes from day-to-day life, farms, streets and houses mostly from Igor's hometown Minsk and its neighborhood.

Random people on the street, policemen, misbehaving teenagers, and wedding parties – they all peacefully coexist with cats, dogs, birds or cows. And they all influence on the ambiance of the image and its perception.
