In the gallery "Peresvetov Lane" Association "Exhibition Halls of Moscow" will open an exhibition of artist David TerOganyan. The exhibition will feature graphic works by the author, including from the series “Thousand Drawings”, which is the result of the artist’s work from 2013 to 2016.
All the works presented at the exhibition have a small format, which gives them an intimate, chamber character. The plots of graphic sheets touch on the themes of the past and future artist, important events, memories and personal experiences.
Larisa Grinberg, artistic director of the Peresvetov Lane gallery: “In his artistic practices, David Ter-Oganyan explores the essence of modern art, from the avant-garde to the present day - contrasting his works with a bourgeois“ object ”, something made to decorate the interior. Often uses deliberately obscene materials: sheets torn from albums, felt-tip pens, adhesive tape (fastening applications so that all seams are out). On the other hand, the artist is very plastic and his personal rebellion is aimed at the utmost exposure of the reception, at revealing the essential aspects of painting. And finally, he is “leftist” - in an era when the leftist movement has also turned into a way of comfortable consumption, and therefore it becomes an object of criticism of the artist along with bourgeois society and its morality. ”
