Masterpieces Never Sleep by Lesha Limonov
Titled "Masterpieces never sleep!", Lesha Limonov’s project for the International RijksStudio Award 2017 has been influenced by the idea that paintings stay awake even after the museum halls turn empty at nighttime.
“By trying on the mask with painting character’s eyes, you can be sure that you’ll see true masterpieces in your dream! And your dream will be under protection, because painting heroes stay awake guarding your rest”
Masterpieces never sleep! When night begins and the museum halls turn empty, the art masterpieces stay awake and look from the darkness. Till the morning they don't close their eyes, monitoring what happens around. By trying on the mask with painting character's eyes, you can be sure that you'll see true masterpieces in your dream!
