Through the Eyes of Russia

About

The contemporary Russian art sphere is actively expanding every year, affecting both the development of the new practices and inclusion of all the spheres of the society of modern Russia and other post-Soviet countries, as well as going far beyond their borders. Contemporary Russian artists interact with the art of the past, mixing traditions of different eras and generating completely new meanings, inventing their own approaches that distinguish them from the art sphere of the West and raising topics unfamiliar to foreign audiences. With the globalization of the modern world and the increasing influence of countries and artistic trends on each other, the world of contemporary art includes more regions, forming a mesh structure where the center and periphery are dynamically replacing each other, contemporary artists from European countries are paying more attention to eastern neighbors and their culture.

However, only a small number of Russian artists have become widely known to the bigger audience abroad, including the UK. Therefore, in order to acquaint the art public of London with the current Russian art sphere, Parrot Fine Arts brings to London a group exhibition Through the Eyes of multidisciplinary contemporary artists from all over Russia, each of which is distinguished by their bright style and high level of mastership. All exhibited artists call on viewers to actively interpret the works and form their own impression of what contemporary Russian art is.
