The exhibition "Muse" at A-Art Gallery in Narva, Estonia, has become a major event in the art world. This year, the gallery presented a unique collaboration of Estonian artists – Eduard Zentsik, Tauno Kangro and Yury Khorev.

A-Art Gallery is an ideal place for the confessions of artists, in whose works great attention is paid to the sources of their inspiration. The exhibition “Muse” provided contemporary art lovers with a wide range of artistic pursuits.

Eduard Zentsik, who is familiar with his ease of existence in different styles and art directions, offered to plunge into a series of magical portraits. Zentsik does not hide the habitat of his muses - the magical land of Fairies and the dark nooks of mythical worlds. The works of different series evoke memories of classical modernity and the period of Pre-Raphaelites.

The living legend Tauno Kangro, developing the theme of lightness and heavenly origin of muses, added volume with his works. The skill of the sculptor, giving flexibility and weightlessness to metal, for all its physical weight, can be compared with divine inspiration. The muses caught in the artwork of Kangro seem to be frozen for the audience, so that they can see the most graceful details that give them inspiration.

Yury Khorev, in turn, told the audience about the impressions and emotions of communicating with his muses. Airy forms, pure colors, sometimes the schematic nature of a large author's gesture allows you to feel the full strength of the character of the heroines. The women of Khorev are not reduced to their physicality and beauty of lines - each of them has a personality, history and judgment about the world.

The exhibition "Muse" not only presented the creative potential of these talented artists, but also raised an important question about the development of culture in the Ida-Virumaa region. The curator of the exhibition, Eduard Zentsik, raised this issue in his public address, pointing out the need to develop and support cultural programs and events in the region. We hope that this appeal will not go unheeded by the Ministry of Culture and will lead to real changes in this area.

The A-Art Gallery is a real gem on the border with Russia and is certainly one of the most important cultural venues in the region. Cultural Europe starts with the A-Art Gallery. The opening of the exhibition was the event of an international level, with wonderful musical accompaniment by Analogue Quattro. Also special thanks to Darja Jasnjuk, A-Art Gallery curator assistant.

At the same time, the current feminist agenda of our time can reproach the authors of the exhibition with its indignation at such attention to the female body. However, it is worth looking at the presented works, as any accusations will become untenable. In the works of artists there is no place for objectification of female physiology and predatory voluptuousness.

MUSE — it is an ode to admiration for the Muses and recognition of their complicity in the art process. MUSE— it is a trio of dissimilar, but balanced art soloists, whose "ensemble" was able to achieve absolute harmony.
