last night we went to
sanya kantarovsky's art opening at
marc foxx gallery
my son donovan was featured in one of sanya's films as a boy running down a road in the middle of nowhere. sanya's art is based on childhood memories, drawings and growing up in moscow. this film came from his memory of a tv show he used to watch in russia.

sanya's recent works are painted in oil, watercolor, ink and bleach on canvas, depicting scenes of sole figures, each wrapped in its own moment.
it's important to take kids to art galleries and museums (even if they always want to touch the art:)
they are art's future.

Yes! It reminds me of Mon Oncle by Jacques Tati.
wow, you are so right-on! i was just watching all the funny youtube clips. i didn't know about these!!! thanks carolina :)
very cool and it looks like a lot of fun!
We love taking our 2 boys to galleries too. We've taught them both a special 'Gallery walk' where they clasp their hands behind their back (rather like Prince Charles does) as they walk. The 4-year old in particular loooooves touching stuff, so this has worked a treat. Love your blog.
thanks saskia for the fantastic idea. i will try the arms clasped behind their backs at the next art museum visit :)
so sweet
This is so fun! I always loved going to art museums and galleries as a child. It will be a must when I have little ones of my own! What better way to foster creativity?
