Curator: Peter Belyi
Vadim Mikhailov's work is similar to the refraction of sound under water. The exhibition offers to immerse yourself in the semi-mysterious Russian twilight world. Peter Belyi notes that "Vadim Mikhailov's original mystical philosophy has been turned into a sinister theater stuck in gesso and black oil. Frozen heroes raise their hands to the sky with stretching viscous threads that tenaciously pull back into the swamp." Vadim's works resemble archaeological artifacts. He finds inspiration for their creation in folklore images.
