Gallery Portal11 presents painting exhibition by Andrew Chizhov
“The Place”. 23.10.2020 – 08.11.2020.
«The Place» is an autumn art project by Andrew Chizhov. The paintings presented at the exhibition are visualizing some kind of emotional micro-worlds — thin balances between the intimate and universal, between “here and now” and “nowhere”.
«I am aspired to create a picture that rather than convey information or illustrate an idea, creates a compelling emotional experience. My goal is to create paintings that draws the viewer into their sensory space, brings out a memory of the visual or spiritual, asks a question or gives an answer. The work that will fall into you as rain, burn as the summer sun or wrapping you in the fog».
