Erarta Museum presents an exhibition by Alexander Kabin whose paintings convey the poignant sense of belonging to the North, one’s kin, and the history of one’s homeland.

Several years ago, Alexander Kabin and his family moved from Severodvinsk, a city on the White Sea coast, to a village near Yaroslavl. Even though Northern asceticism has always been the backbone of Kabin’s works, the painter admits that it was only after the move that he could actually perceive himself as a Northerner and felt an acute sense of belonging to the Northern nature and the place where he was born and raised.

Alexaner Kabin says, ‘One of the artist’s missions is to chronicle the time. I try to perpetuate the epoch that I live in.’ Kabin strives to visualize the archetype of the Russian way of life which, despite the progress of civilization, remains largely unchanged.
