Address: station “Kiev” Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line of the Moscow metro.
creation date: 1953
award Winner in 2013.
the Theme of the station “Kiev” Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line of the metro dedicated to the everyday life of Soviet Ukraine: on the pylons of the Central and side halls hosted story mural in the style of socialist realism. On the front wall of the station — scale (24,5 meters) panel picture “Folk festival in Kiev” dedicated to celebration of the 300th anniversary of the reunification of Ukraine and Russia. In 2010, due to severe leaks wall is in disrepair, and the fresco is almost completely crumbled.
reconstruction began in 2011. Experts were guided by the original project: the archive of the Museum of architecture Schusev found negative historical photographs of 1954. It became the basis for the reconstruction of frescoes. This historic photo was different from the images of 2000-ies, as in the 1960-1970-ies on the panel, there have been numerous updates and posts that has distorted his coloring and composition.
“the station has carried out work to strengthen metalloizdeli end walls and reconstruction of the plaster layer. At the same time in the Studio made the first complete reconstruction of frescoes in the 1:1 scale. Experts around the world have been recreated, the illumination of the frescoes in the conditions underground. Work was conducted around the clock, from passenger restorers were separated by a remote partition that was installed two feet away from panel. This distance is insufficient for perception of the whole and the creation of works of monumental painting. Therefore, the finished mural No. 1, made in the workshop, were cut into pieces and brought to the station. Exactly copying these fragments, the experts recreated the final mural No. 2. Part of the work was conducted at night — this was due to safety regulations at operation of object with intense passenger traffic”, — says the head of restoration works on painting Michael Simagin.
as conditions in the subway are not the best for storage of painting restoration, the Commission decided to reconstruct the panel with silicate paints.
“These materials have proven themselves in practice. In fact the process they are similar to the mural as “crimninal” paint becomes one with the wall, but also allows the wall to breathe, which ensures the durability of the work,” adds Michael Simagin.
And in 2015-2016 the master returned the original form 49 panels and framing their cartouches, recreating the lost fragments of paintings and decorations. Recreation and tinting compositions were performed in the manner and technique of fresco with tempera based on historical materials in the Main state archives and the photo archive of the Museum of architecture.
