The exhibition “Fedot Sychkov. The Artist of Joy” presents the largest collection of paintings by the artist. Fedot Sychkov stood at the origins of professional painting in Mordovia and was one of the first to praise the beauty of its residents.
Considering Ilya Repin as his main teacher, the artist continued the realist painting tradition. He perfected his skills by constantly making sketches and was able to create genuine images of Russian peasant women, Mordovian women in national costumes and playful children. The artisan painted village life with great love: the patterned embroidery of linen towels, the ornaments on Pavlovo Posad shawls, and the children’s trodden-down bast shoes. He often worked outdoors, filling his canvases with the play of sunlight.
Sychkov’s paintings are displayed in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Hermitage Museum, as well as in other museums and private collections in Russia and abroad.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
