The space of variations or shining chaos
Triangle Gallery is pleased to present "Space of Variations or Shining Chaos", the first solo exhibition by Andrey Yefimov (born in 1993, lives and works in Yaroslavl).
Opening on December 9, 2025. The exhibition will run until January 16, 2026.
The modern pace of life, the rapid development of technology and constant changes encourage me to turn to the eternal themes of nature, man and space, so in my works I develop my own version of a visual image for life in all its manifestations and without reference to place and time. Life appears to me as a collection of various forms and objects in a certain space — this is how I get abstract and fantastic self-sufficient worlds. With the help of these worlds, I hope to understand the deep logic of the development and organization of life and talk about what occupies my imagination: about the creative energy of nature, the diversity of flora and fauna; about the complexity of people and their various ways of life; about the various forms of organization of society; finally, about the infinite variability of possible extraterrestrial life.
In my works, I develop a special visual language — bright colors, diverse shapes, gradients, stars and dots — in order to create an inner intense life within each work. Special attention is paid to the composition to emphasize the degree of organization of this life — from chaos to complete harmony.
I would like these works to unite people due to their abstraction from a specific context, being a pure expression of life, development and movement, and also becoming a special visual experience for the viewer through an abstract narrative open to subjective interpretation.
It is important for me that these worlds maintain their autonomy and fantastically mysterious atmosphere, as well as “speak” their original language, so instead of words in the names, I use a set of Latin letters, numbers and symbols. They are at the same time a unique graphic, but abstract expression of each specific work, as well as a kind of cipher, coordinates or password, the meaning of which I leave open to the viewer.
