We organized a creative plein air event at the enterprises of the Yelets site of the Lipetsk Special Economic Zone for local artists. They found inspiration at "Petexpert" (manufacturer of pet food) and "Agrotek-Promcenter" (producer of agricultural seeds).
This is part of the "ProfShtrikh" (Professional Stroke) project, which brought together 🤝

➡️ The goal of the plein air was to engage young people with the theme of industrial heritage and to reflect industry in their artwork. The aim was to highlight the significance of these plants' contribution to the Lipetsk region's economy, to tell the story of the factories, the people who work there, and the innovations in production. For the artists, this was their first experience immersing themselves in the working atmosphere of modern enterprises.
We're sharing our guests' impressions ❤️
✅ Alexander Kaverin:
"I usually paint landscapes and still lifes. This is my first time engaging with industrial and production themes. I want to focus less on details and more on the overall setting, the color palette. It's interesting. The atmosphere here is different, and you need to get a feel for it. It's a good shake-up for new impressions."

✅ Nina Grishina:
"This is my first time at a production facility. I prefer Impressionist artists and paint in that style. What amazed me? The cleanliness, the equipment. Everything reflects perfectly on the clean floor. And I decided to capture that reflection in my work."

🎨 The artists' emotions and sketches will form the basis of a future exhibition; we look forward to its opening in December. We'll be sure to share the details!
