Description
A continuation of the series about Petersburg and its inhabitants. The author and his characters are inseparably connected with the city, which always remains mysterious, changeable, contradictory, rainy, and beautiful.
Arina Obukh, both as a writer and an artist, has a unique style and color palette. Her ability to convey the essence of a hero with a single phrase and to create an image with one line is impressive. Her artistic eye lets her single out—amid everyday bustle—what often goes unnoticed, revealing the secrets of life, its beauty, and its tragedy.
All the stories are united by the idea of the fragility of everything that exists: from ceramics to friendship, love, and the very planet.
Arina Obukh is a writer and artist, a graduate of the “Mucha imeni Shtiglitsa” school, and author of a book about Petersburg, with which her creative work is inseparably tied.
Her new book “Next Stop — ‘Pioneer Street’” is a dialogue: with a friend, with the City, with God… With the German Leon Schmidt, inspired by a song about Leningrad, who went to Petersburg. A dialogue with an artist who left six years ago—and with the poets standing with their backs to Gogol on Malaya Konyushennaya. A dialogue with death in pink Vietnamese sandals and with Brodsky, who came to Vasilyevsky Island. A dialogue with the reader.
“One day we will stop talking about this, but not today.”
“If I were asked to describe Arina Obukh’s work, I would choose the word ‘beauty’.
Her style is defined by the place where she lives, when the city grows through her, taking on new features.
Beauty is visible in the domes against a leaden sky and in the scattered light, in Arina’s texts and paintings. And there is a special beauty of everyday life, one that only the chosen can see—like the London fog in Monet’s paintings. Arina sees it. And shares it with us.”
