Anton Schablykin "Heads of Heroes". Apocrypha and artifacts Dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution

The exposition of St. Petersburg artist Anton Shchablykin will feature drawings, collages and sculptures created by the author in 2012-2018.

This is a kind of graphic essay. The artist offers the viewer in drawings and collages to open the apocrypha and discover artifacts, having made an exciting archaeological walk with a look at the finds discovered in the process. These findings are very common. Usually in parks, in forests, in the mountains, in his garden, in a family archive, in a field, in a special basket with a guillotine, on asphalt, in a closet, in Shakespeare’s tragedy, under a bed, in a swamp, in a raven’s corner, in in my head, under a table, in a bowl of soup, under my feet, among mushrooms, in my dog’s coat, in my memoirs, under my children’s nails, in a freezer by an African dictator, in Dostoevsky’s novel, in his own or rented cottage, in the grass by the lake, in the Bible, in a cupboard on a shelf among books, in his own beard… They are suddenly discovered and in the most inappropriate moment nt, when you enjoy a walk and that does not portend violations of the idyllic pastoral…
