Modern realism:

Since 1970s the term "modern realism" is commonly used to refer to artists practicing realistic art in modern techniques. In a sense, it laid the groundwork for artists who painted realistically to be seen as modern and innovative. And despite the fact that the abstract-avant-garde-conceptual approach temporarily dominates in modern art, arts written in a realistic manner are perceived as more valuable and timeless.

About

"REALISM 2.0" the 1st International contest of modern realistic art

The exhibition works are displayed in the halls of the Moscow Center for Contemporary Arts "Art Commune", which are popular with the audience. This is a convenient and popular venue in Moscow, where everyone can plunge into the world of contemporary art. The works of both contemporary authors from Russia and artists and sculptors from foreign countries are constantly presented here. The Art Commune is a meeting place for creative people, dialogue and exchange of ideas, inspiring each visitor to new discoveries and reflections.

 A competition is held simultaneously with the exhibition. All works are evaluated by members of the Expert Council — prominent representatives of art galleries, famous masters of painting, graphics, textiles and decorative arts, as well as media representatives specializing in art coverage, patrons and gallery owners. The level of the Expert Council can be safely called the highest. These professionals have in-depth knowledge and experience, which guarantees a fair and objective assessment of all submitted works. Participation in the competition is a unique opportunity to show your talents and gain recognition in the Art World.

All works presented at the exhibition will be published in the international edition "Realism 2.0". The catalogue is published in both Russian and English.
