On Pomorskaya in Arkhangelsk plan to install a monument to Borisov

In the park on Pomorskaya Street in Arkhangelsk, a project of a monument to the artist Alexander Borisov was presented. This was reported in social networks by the head of the city Dmitry Morev.

In the year of the 160th anniversary of the birth of Borisov, his name was given to the square, landscaped three years ago. The creative community proposes to establish a monument here. The project was developed and presented by sculptor Nadezhda Shek – Honored Artist of Russia, author of famous works in Arkhangelsk.

She explained the essence of the plan simply: Borisov is an artist of the Arctic, so the image of the Arctic should sound in stone. The monument is supposed to be made of white granite, which resembles a block of ice.

- Named squares and institutions, memorial objects always serve the educational cause: they become points of attraction for children and young people, tell tourists about the North. I am sure that this project will give impetus to the development of the Borisov Museum, which is located nearby, said Dmitry Morev.

A large program of events in the anniversary year was organized by the Museum Association “Artistic Culture of the Russian North”. Today, a tablet exhibition “The Legacy of Alexander Borisov: from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok” opened in the park, where paintings from the collections of eight museums of the country are presented.
