Mischer Community residents can look forward to an entertaining, thought-provoking event if they visit the Russian Culture Center this weekend. The RCC has recently opened an Art Exhibition for Dmitri Koustov titled "Megapolis". The exhibit is open now through October 16th, 2009. From Monday through Friday you can see the exhibit from 8:30am to 5:30pm and Saturday from 11am to 3pm. Admission is free and visitors may even purchase some of Koustov's works.
Dmitri Koustov has works all over Europe in private collections through Austria, Germany, France, Russia, England, Singapore, and Finland as well as in the United States, and the Ivanovo Art Museum. His works are comprised of intense, vivid color with balanced harmony. His abstract works bring about emotions of positivity.
"Creating an abstract composition that has a luminous mixture of forms and colors brings me happiness, inner strength and freedom. I hope that viewers will feel the same when they see my works… I think that the task of the artist is to show the things that one can feel but not see. And that’s what I am awaiting from my public-imagination and fantasy" - artist Dmitri Koustov.
Koustov is a graduate from Ivanovo Art Institute, and previously worked in St. Petersberg, Russia and Moscow. Currently he resides in College Station, Texas.
