OVCHARENKO is proud to announce a special collection of paintings and drawings by the gallery artists designed for the Narval restaurant. The selection is structured around the theme of a sea voyage. Travel per se is a borderline condition, in which a lot of impressions overlay each other. The view through the porthole of a cozy cabin, the feeling of warmth inside and the coldness of the sea outside…
The chosen artworks can be seen as images from a travel diary of sort. From the colour-rich, marine-alphabet-like rhytmic abstractions by the Innovation (2009) laureate Sergei Bratkov to lightweight, shimmering like the Northern Lights paintings by the Venice Biennale participant (2013) Victor Alimpiev. Also included are the Innovation nominee (2015), a part of the «Sever-7» art group Leonid Tskhe, Maria Serebriakova who represented Russia at Documenta 1992, Kirill Lebedev (kto) and Vladimir Kozhukhar.
