Exhibition by Chaim Sokol "PINK BEDS AND OTHER SUBJECTS"

Gallery Pro Art`s presents a personal exhibition of Russian artist Haim Sokol "Pink bedside tables and other subjects".

In his work, Haim Sokol addresses the topic of alienation, isolation and broken ties in the modern world. Working with archival materials and private documents, the artist reveals the history of the twentieth century through the prism of private destinies, explores the problems of historical memory and the modern socio-political situation.

The works featured in the Pink Bedside Tables and Other Subjects exhibition have been and continue to be created since the beginning of the pandemic. Therefore, the interior (more precisely, its various components - furniture, clothes, dishes) and the window, as a natural border separating us from the outside world, became the main plot and even material. The author draws on craft wrapping paper, jacquard upholstery, even garments, and paints the enclosed space around it in mood colors - from ash gray to hot pink.
