This exciting fine art exhibition blurs physical country borders and boundaries as well as allows for creative freedom without boundaries within the works. Often combining Realism, Impressionism and abstraction, the works form a bold exhibition concept that is the talk of the art world. Works range from classical realism to a new contemporary realism that may for example combine a finely rendered figure with blurred edges or abstract backgrounds. From bold brushwork to finely fit details, from the Russian schools of realism in St. Petersberg to the Ukranian works with vibrant loose Impressionist brushwork.
Exhibiting side by side, Soviet and historical works with contemporary works by Russian, Ukrainian, American, French, Norwegian, Chinese and German, Realism Without Borders aims to connect two centuries and two continents via the commitment to realist painting traditions.

“Artists from all over the globe can now share their images of work thru social media and are influencing one another across borders. This exhibition celebrates those blurring of boundaries of borders, in both the literal sense and the works.” Explains Rothe “The viewers will see similar works and styles being created from opposite ends of the globe, finding unity and likeness in the art that is being created.”
​-notes Curator Rothe

“The collection ranges from classical academic works to painterly Impressionist pieces where many works boasts a combination of the two in the same canvas. The International group of classically trained representational artists believes in the successful combination of objective traditional realism combined with expressive and personal subjects, and the work often boasts a board range of tight to painterly styles and strokes.” Explains Rothe
