From March 11 to March 23, the BIS ART GALLERY will host Anastasia Shemyakina’s personal exhibition «Sword and Rose Accolade», which presents a series of paintings dedicated to modern chivalry.
In the center of the exhibition is a chivalrous myth created by a woman’s gaze. The key to it is love, embodied in the image of a girl, who becomes an integral part of the knightly path.
Just as medieval knights were accoladed by the sword of a beautiful lady, so the modern hero of the paintings finds himself through love and devotion. This is not a medieval hierarchy, but a mutual initiation — alchemy, where both become more than themselves.
This series is not just a visual narrative, but a deep reflection on how the past and present are intertwined in search of eternal truths. The works not only tell a story, but also inspire the viewer to go through trials for the sake of what is really important.
