Works by homeless artist from Gomel Valery Lyashkevich are displayed in Minsk for the first time. The vernissage took place at the Belarusian National Art Museum.
For Gomel residents the homeless old man with blue eyes drawing “pictures” in the streets is a local curiosity. For fine art experts Valery Lyashkevich is a phenomenon, an artist who is worth paying attention to.
Valery Lyashkevich studied at the art schools of Yaroslavl and Bryansk, attended courses at the Ilya Repin Saint Petersburg State Academic Institute of Fine Arts, Sculpture and Architecture. Since then he became peripatetic artist travelling between Saint Petersburg that gave him priceless cultural experience and his native Gomel. Today the streets of the Belarusian city are home to the artist. For 20 years he has been taking shelter at the railway station underground passages and on the benches in tranquil city districts. His workshops are stair halls, the left-luggage office of the railway station, sometimes even concrete plates in the streets.
