"LIFE is a fun carnival"! Vasya Lozhkin goes to Petersburg! 18+

100 new paintings and installations! The most anticipated and large-scale autumn exhibition of the Northern capital!

October 3, on Vasilyevsky Island, in the largest museum of contemporary art of St. Petersburg "ARTMUZA" will open a personal exhibition of Vasya Lozhkin "Life - a fun carnival." The maestro presents about 100 paintings and installations created recently. This is the largest exhibition in the city on the Neva.

“LIFE is a fun carnival” is a kaleidoscope of our life today. The absurdity and devilry of what is happening in the world will make you smile, laugh at yourself, at human fears, laugh kindly, without mockery.

"Answer colorful absurdity to informational absurdity." (V.L.)

Lozhkin is a tireless chronicler of the endless Russian saga, a fantastic polar worldview inherent in the inhabitants of 1/7 of the land, which incorporates the ability to abomination and take off the spirit, a passion for collecting land, building up, sympathy, all this becomes the plot of the artist’s paintings. The canvases will make you recall the recent headlines of newspapers and news on television, the Internet, events that a few days ago seemed vital, but in fact turned out to be just an excuse for a satirical narrative.

“I’m kind of choosing a paint color adequate to the outside world, drawn through the inside world. Like through a filter. Only I collect not what went through this filter, but what remains in it. And then, I’m still cooking it, adding spices, cooling and preserving, then putting it into the cellar and taking it out only for special occasions. And he has come! ”

He came to us from the Internet and today he stepped into the halls of art galleries, from the virtual world to a living audience, of course, this is a completely different perception of the artist’s works - the real scale of the paintings, the manner and technique of writing, the color and saturation of the canvas, which are not transmitted by any computer monitor adequately. This is a different atmosphere!

The paintings of Vasya Lozhkin is our story. This is what will remain of today, when the servers overflow, the power plants burn out, the oil runs out and politicians change three times. The future biography of historians will tell less about the years when we live, love and die than the emotional shots of being that have come out from under the brush of Vasya Lozhkin.

Come to the exhibition! Lozhkin will show you!
