Art in the window

Exhibition of Yuri Stash’s works in the main showcase of the "Europe".
/New year's eve sketch/

Multicolored highlights of the city are reflected on a Sunny December day on the window, or rather, on the glass of the decorated showcase of the gifts and souvenirs boutique "Europe" in the Krasnooktyabrskaya street. And the mirror image of an opposite building and mysterious shadows of bare trees hide the magic of costumes of the famous Circassian fashion designer Yuri Stash. Unique works of the art, which we are used to see in the permanent exhibition of the master's works in the North Caucasus filial of the State Museum of the Oriental art, are displayed as part of a showcase decoration in the main street of the Adyghea’s capital in order to promote his original works. Attached by detailed descriptions, men's suit the "Circassian Washington" with mitre-shaped hat, white women's costume "Amazon" with a helm-shaped headdress and white Circassian suit or tcherkeska, devoted to English traveler Edmond Spencer, with popular in the Caucasus Astrakhan hat creat together with the author's pyramids of the Circassian designer in the natural landscape background a mini-exhibition, open to eye of any passerby.
Passing by the boutique, residents and guests of the city can freely and at any time get acquainted with the art of the outstanding master of decorative and applied arts. These magnificent works of Yuri Stash, who dedicated his life to the art and transmits through his unique works appeals for peace, tolerance and mutual understanding of peoples and their cultures, seem to be dissolved in colorful glare of the capital of Adyghea. And it seems on this first day of winter, Maykop itself cordially and benevolently accepts such a creative appeal, highlighting it with rainbow rays of the sun.
On the eve of the New Year holidays, which this year will be held, most likely, quietly and in a family way, the white Amazon dress and white Circassian suit resemble the snow-capped mountains of the Western Caucasus. And the black tchetkeska, dedicated by its skillful creator to the Adyghe hero Khadzhi Ismail Doromuko Berzek, represents the native land, waiting for the coming of a snowy winter. Perhaps, this is why the exhibition of these already well-known works of the fashion designer Yuri Stash is harmoniously combined with another showcase of the "Europe", decorated in a new year's style.
Smiling Santa Claus in a red fur robe, surrounded by snow-dusted fur-trees, seems calling residents and guests of the capital of Adyghea to enjoy upcoming new year holidays, not to be discouraged by temporary difficulties and to paint their life with bright colors and unforgettable happy impressions. And it seems that the exhibition with Santa Claus and a decorated Christmas tree, which wishes all passers-by Peace, Health, Happiness, Joy, Prosperity and Harmony in 2021, echoes the peaceful philosophy of the creator of the works, exposed in the neighboring showcase.
Indeed, art and life are inseparable from each other, they go side by side or "hand in hand", or in this case, showcase to showcase, in the transparent windows of which our wonderful city is reflected in so sunny and new year's way…

Happy New year 2021!
Peace! Health! Happiness! Joy! Love! Well-being and Prosperity!
