The pop/off/art gallery presents a solo exhibition of the St. Petersburg artist Vladimir Shinkarev.

More than 40 new paintings of the master will be presented in the exposition of the gallery, combined in pairs with each other.
The title of the exhibition formally expresses the essence of artistic methodology of Vladimir Shinkarev - the repetition of the same landscape motif. But the artist is not interested in the process of change, but in the inexorable consistency and regularity, the prose of life developing according to a typical scenario, with the rational architecture of St. Petersburg as a backdrop. The cinematic effect here arises in the transition from one image to the next and back again.
