A Window to Russia

The representation of classical painting in a new light is a delicate and interesting affair for curators, directors and museum specialists. Having access to works from the collection of the Institute of Russian Realist Art and the State Tretyakov Gallery, Radugadesign decided to combine them harmoniously with generative art, without changing the masterpieces, but maintaining graphics and dynamics. Thus, Radugadesign combined the past and present in one whole piece of art. 





In this project, the studio, professional directors, music producers and a whole orchestra created a video fantasy for guests of the gala evening dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Ingosstrakh. With a difference in the day, the show took place at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and St. Petersburg Mikhailovsky Theater, bringing together painting, classical music, modern technologies and design, thus opening a new facet of static classical masterpieces.

CONCEPTS

The main idea when creating the surrounding effects was the use of colors, shapes and textures from the original paintings. We created unique assets for each of the blocks and with the help of generative graphics we changed the pictures, offering them a new visual context.
