The article by Margarita Sizova about the “Scenography of Evgeniya Kashina” exhibition:

““The Scenography of Evgeniya Kashina” exhibition, which will open on June 15 at the library No. 24 named after Nazim Hikmet, has already been dubbed a journey in time and space. The exhibition presents three series of sketches that will take the audience to Algeria, Japan and Ancient Egypt.

Evgeniya, a graduate of the Professional Art Lyceum of Animation Cinematography and the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting named after Litovchin, devotes a lot of time to set design. On the artist's account - work in documentary and feature films, including films such as “Flash.ka”, “Be healthy, maestro!” And animated films “Dunno and Barrabass” and “Belka and Strelka. Star dogs "in 3D.

This year in the library on the Sokol region has already held its exhibition "Fantasies fancy dreams."  “Then my works were performed for the Russian fantasy-rock-musical “Last Trial”, which premiered in 2014.  More than 30 paintings with animated inserts were projected onto the screen and were the only decorations on the stage, ”says Evgeniya.  The new exhibition, which opens in June, will give guests the opportunity to get even closer acquainted with the work of the artist and see her earlier works - sketches of scenery created based on three pieces.  This is the story of the French writer Albert Camus "The Stranger", which takes place in Algeria; Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly,  carrying to the Land of the Rising Sun, as well as the novel of the Polish writer Boleslav Prus "Pharaoh" about ancient Egypt.

 “I have been interested in Egyptology since my childhood, and Pharaoh is one of my favorite books, and the board of Ramessides is a favorite period in the history of ancient Egypt.  In addition, I chose the theme for the Pharaoh diploma project in the entrance exams, ”says Evgeniya. These sketches are made with pastel, other works - with a marker and oil on the paper. "This is the author's technology of my teacher in the skill of art director Vladimir Mikhailovich Lykov," she continues.

“The work on each series is the month of painstaking study of iconographic material in museums and libraries, as well as the search for a compositional and stylistic solution,” Evgeniya admits.  According to her, the exhibition on the Sokol region will be interesting to anyone who loves art, but primarily intended for people interested in cinema, theater and oriental culture.  And the opening day on June 15 promises to be a significant event in the cultural life of the district: as always, the artist intends to invite artists to the opening of the exhibition, who will help guests to plunge into the world of art.  The exhibition "Scenography Evgeniya Kashina" will last in the library Nazim Hikmet until mid-August.
