"The exhibition's slogan is "One country, two styles, and three eras". The two styles are realism and avant-garde, the three eras are the early 20th century, the post-war period and the 1980s-2000s", - he explained. According to him, along with the exhibition, the ROSIZO Gallery will have a cafe, a gift shop and an educational program for children and adults with open-airs during warm seasons.
