March Issue 2001
Asheville Artist, Vadim Bora, is the Asheville Gallery of Art's Artist-of-the-Month for March
Vadim Bora is the
Artist-of-the-month for March at the Asheville Gallery of Art
in Asheville, NC. Bora's exhibition Infinite Spring features
a collection of irresistible landscapes and allegorical figures,
each provoking different passions of spring - hope, rejuvenation,
fantasy, rebirth. These oil paintings invite viewers to step inside
landscapes created from the vast reserves of the mind. They may
seem familiar - a cottage, a grove of trees, a riverbank from
this land or another that seem vaguely reminiscent-but instead
they come from the land of the imagination.
Known for his dramatic figurative sculpture, painting, and portraiture, which exude extremely powerful composition and color, Bora has embarked on a new adventure with timeless visions of the countryside and almost mythological figurative images that evoke the essence of spring.
Bora is originally from the state of North Odessa in Russia's mountainous Caucas region. A graduate of the College of Art in Vladikavkaz, he continued his studies at the St. Petersburg Academy of Art. A member of the Professional Artist Union of Russia, he taught at the Vladikavkaz School of Art for Gifted Children, lectured, and appeared on television and radio. He has illustrated books and magazines and has designed and created art for interiors and landscape projects.
Vadim Bora's applied art and his fine art have appeared in museums regionally and nationally. Bora's cat sculpture, commissioned by the City of Asheville can be seen at the Asheville Urban Trail Station #9 on Wall street, entitled Cat Walk.
