Amir Timergaleev. Light. Colour. Harmony

The catalogue of the exhibition titled "Light. Color. Harmony" by Amir Timergaleev, which was held from September 10th to October 31st, 2008, at the Hermitage-Kazan Centre.

The paintings of Timergaleev are characterized by a lively and pulsating emotional content, which conveys a wide range of emotions, from sharp and vivid to tender and subtle. The beginning and end of the artist's work, as well as its essence, are expressed through colour. Timergaleev seeks to capture the absolute values of color purity and completeness, depth and richness, softness and clarity, and luminosity.

This approach to color leads to a special attention to contrasts, which allow the artist to convey specific qualities, while the texture of the surface adds to the overall impression. Timergaleev's work resembles musical improvisation, with the contours of objects setting the rhythm, while the overall color scheme creates a melody, ranging from the sensual and expressive to the soft and lyrical. Even dissonant elements do not disrupt the harmony, as they are integrated into a unified whole.
