Gallery-Workshop of Zaitsev, Kazan

Very atmospheric place! The works are amazing, I want to look at them for a long time and carefully. The different techniques are amazing. And the very atmosphere of the gallery is a workplace. It is possible to see the stages of the creation of exhibits. You can buy copies of paintings, badges and magnets for memory. We were a family and everyone loved it! Recommended!

A must to visit! The room is small and it is hard to call it a full-fledged gallery, and the price tag cannot be called humane, but everything is compensated by the received emotions. I am not a fan of galleries and art exhibitions, but here I was impressed. This is not just a gallery, but a full-fledged artist's workshop. You can see not yet finished works, projects, raw ideas. Understand how the work is born, what techniques are used. Souvenir available)))

Interesting place, constantly changing exposition. A very interesting person is the creator Vyacheslav Zaitsev. He willingly communicates with visitors, talks about the work, plans for the future, about what prompted the creation of certain works. The most unexpected materials are used in the creation of works. And any visitor of the gallery can take part in the creation of one of the works.

The Zaitsev Gallery of Glory is one of the coolest sights in Kazan. Slava himself is a Kazan artist, he is almost always in the gallery and communicates with guests, talks about completed projects and plans for the future. He has incredibly interesting thoughts and ideas. There were tourists from England with me, Slava does not know English, so he could not explain anything to them normally, it was funny to watch from the side :) The paintings themselves are made without paints. Although from a distance it is not always visible. That's why you're blown away by the paintings when you get closer and closer to them... you start to understand a little the technique of execution. I liked the painting "Bear" most of all, aka "Mechunchik" made of 130,000 furniture staples. And the portrait of Leo Tolstoy from the "LEV TOLSTOY" stamps... it's just a bomb! I recommend the gallery to all tourists, after it you will be bored visiting ordinary museums and galleries. :)

Great gallery! If you love art, then I highly recommend visiting the exhibition. To some it may seem unreasonably expensive entry, but it's worth it. The pictures are interesting, they can be viewed for a very long time. The artist uses different techniques, and it's amazing. The author captivates by the fact that he does not speculate with the depth of his works, all ideas lie on the surface. Vyacheslav himself can very often be caught at work and watch the master. It is a pity that we did not see him during our visit, but we had an excellent tour, which fully compensated for this. Unfortunately, we forgot the name of this wonderful person (I am writing a review in six months), but the pleasant aftertaste is still preserved. Thank you very much! If you like souvenirs, then you can buy copies of works in the form of magnets and reproductions of various sizes. In addition, you can agree on the purchase of originals, and order a painting to your taste. Do not believe the reports of tour agents that the gallery is closed. Check the information yourself. PS. My wife especially appreciated the picture - "Here we all messed up, let's move on", and I liked the applications.
