Paintings by Russian painter Veronica Smirnoff show religious themes and use techniques from icon painting.
UNITED KINGDOM---In the "Would-Be Worlds" exhibition, the artists presented include Veronica Smirnoff, Rinat Minnebayev, Anna Urazova and Yevgeny Zaremba. The theme of the exhibition is an exploration of imaginary, "ephemeral" and "fairytale" worlds that are timeless, personal and mystical. The works are made from different materials to allow for highlighting different themes: Urazova uses charcoal to create delicate botantical illustration-style drawings, Smirnov uses traditional oak canvas and egg tempera, Minnebayev makes his paper himself to create an unusual surface to draw on and Zaremba uses impasto paint to overlay different contrasting colors.
