There is a subtle threshold beyond which a matter takes shape, gesture becomes a line, and internal tension becomes visible structure.
The exhibition is dedicated to the moment of transition, where the invisible becomes tangible.
Ilia Shalashov's graphic works exist on the threshold between the artist's concept and the autonomous life of the sign.
The movement of the hand creates a graphic figure composed of intersecting traces. Such figures and lines, like matrices of previously completed actions, become the gestures on paper.
In some works, this principle unfolds into a storm of strokes, transforming chaotic force into a coherent visual grammar, transforming dynamic chaos into a fixed, coherent image.
thus, The works presented here are the embodiment of the frozen movement.
In Mikhail Rogov's series «Prophecies and the Prophet», the paw prints left by the Mantis are a visible trace of an invisible process of transformation, evidence of a transition from one state to another. Thus, the works become carriers of texts, prophecies written in a language we sense but cannot fully decipher.
They are a tangible, fixed result of a fluid, internal process, constant proof of life's changeability.
Daria Kupriyanova's ceramic pieces are a flow of the material transformation. By polishing the result, the artist permanently captures the material's reaction in the form of a beautiful, coherent work.
The works here become a bridge between the hidden and the revealed, inviting us to see how invisible processes become visible,
and the ephemeral becomes permanent.
Unique patterns emerge under the pressure of the lithographic press, each print becoming a unique record of a multilayered interaction.
Like a page written on, cleaned, and rewritten, these works retain the ghostly traces of previous prints, the textures of chance, and the beautiful, blurred history of their own creation.
