17 - 23 May 2021

  • Victor Alimpiev

  • Watercolours transform the nature of the canvas: when absorbed, it leaves delicate glowing shades — the undertones that, among the taut pencil lines, create a quirky topography over the female face and neck, changing the movement and the speed of our glance.

    Faces of the military are more and more often covered with masks or face-paint nowadays since weaponry favours anonymity. However, when service coat comes into the picture, something must be shown on the face as well — and here, we usually stumble across the deficiency of personality.
