The group “Art of Inspiration • Vladimir Andreyev and His Friends” is an international collaboration among some fifty-six artists and photographers from two countries – Russia and America. The task that these creative people have set for themselves is to maximize the artistic potential of the group who are the bearers of two major cultures, doing this through dialog, and the synthesis of several forms of art. Thanks to the extraordinary organizational talents of the organizer and member of the group, Vladimir Andreyev, the journey of exhibitions of the “Art of Inspiration” has already taken the work of these artists through large and small cities in Russia, and is now successfully emerging in the international arena.
The key to the uniqueness of this group is in its composition. These are photographers and artists who live Russia, Russian artists living in the United States who, while having been assimilated into her culture, maintain cultural artistic ties to Russia, and also American artists, born and raised here. This cultural interplay allows for a wider dialog and cultural exchange and does not pass unnoticed by artistically interested people in both countries. The Russian resident members are selfless in their efforts at organizing the exhibitions there and acquainting the Russian audience with the work of contemporary American artists. It is interesting to note that these exhibitions take place not only in big cities, but also in provincial settings where they evoke a live response and gratitude from the viewers.
