On July 30, an exhibition of the Voronezh sculptor and painter Fyodor Kuzmich Sushkov “A different look at the vision of the New Testament” was solemnly opened on the site of the museum in the House of the Governor (Prospect Revolution, 22).

At the opening ceremony, Maria Mazur, Head of the Department of Culture of the Voronezh Region, made a welcoming speech. In her speech, she noted that the exhibition of works by Fyodor Kuzmich is not being held in the city for the first time and it is impossible to imagine Voronezh without the works of the master.

Then the head of the Donecopark travel company Denis Dmitriev spoke. He told the guests about new excursion tours for Voronezh residents and guests of the city, the routes of which will tell about the places of youth and adult life of Fyodor Kuzmich and reveal the features of his famous monuments.

Irina Kotlyarova, chief researcher at the Kostenki Museum-Reserve, noted that many times she noticed a strong emotional shock of people who see Sushkov’s sculptures for the first time. Such a vivid impression is made by the greatness of the spirit and the deep meaning of his work.

The director of the art museum Olga Ryabchikova said that in the future it is planned to create an exhibition of works by Voronezh artists in the Governor’s House. And it is very important that the works of our fellow countryman are being demonstrated in the hall now.

The President of the SushkovArtHouse Foundation, the sculptor’s granddaughter Anna Nazarova, expressed her gratitude to everyone who took part in the creation of the exhibition, and conducted an author’s tour of the exposition for the guests.

The exhibition will run until the end of 2021. The schedule and conditions of the visit are presented on the VOKhM website.
