Konstantin Pavlov’s exhibition "Inside Infinity" in the ARTMUSE

From March 18 to April 27, in the ARTMUZA Creative Cluster (St. Petersburg, Vasilievsky Island, 13 line, d.70-72), a personal exhibition of the talented artist Konstantin Pavlov, winner of the All-Russian contest of young artists “The Muse Should Work”, will open organized by the “ARTMUZA” cluster.

The exhibition will feature both pictorial and graphic works by Konstantin Pavlov. The themes of the graphic sheets are diverse - creativity, motherhood, a person in the eternal pursuit of happiness, a child for whom life is still a game, and happiness can be compared to a bird… Light, airy images deprived of household details will no doubt find a response in the heart of a concerned spectator.

The author, in his thoughts and embodied artistic images, tries to free a person’s thought from the plaque of everyday life, to remind the viewer that the period of time we are experiencing, with all its characteristic attributes, is insignificant, and we are all, to one degree or another, echoes and derivatives of ancient archetypes.

According to the author, elements that have a unique aftertaste are free to interfere with the picture of reality surrounding us. For example, a sudden love that aggravates our perception or the spontaneous emotional upsurge of city residents, occupying a very short stretch of spring, when the whole spectrum of their perceptions suddenly returns to our senses. The streets bathe in smiles, a man transmits and broadcasts this new signal like a mirror…

Such explicit forms of manifestation of the human soul indicate the interdependence of human perception, which undoubtedly suggests that we are all inextricably linked with each other, whether we want it or not…

That is why the artist’s images are always extremely free of time and plot, devoid of small, insignificant details. They are an attempt to capture a special, unique essence and remove the quintessence of a day.
