The pop/off/art Gallery has opened the Shadow Theory exhibition, a new career chapter by artist George Cohen, formerly known as Georgy Puzenkov. The exhibition includes previously unseen works fr om the period 2019-2024, which balance between non-objective and figurative imagery interspersed with text. The shadow here symbolizes the presence of light, and the immaterial takes shape and becomes visible.

XL Gallery presented the exhibition "Failures" of the Blue Soup group. The works were created using digital animation. The group's work explores detached and artificial landscapes, interiors, and locations wh ere mysterious forces operate. They resemble reality, but do not look like it, which creates the effect of an "ominous valley" and makes the viewer wary.
The exhibition will run until January 16.

On 11.12, the gallery hosted the opening of the exhibition "Fermentation" by Vladimir Marin, dedicated to the permanent search for new methods in his work and constant travel. As a result of the fermentation, new works appear that reflect both the artistic vision of the author and the surrounding geographical and social context.
The exhibition will run until January 18.

VLADEY Space has opened a personal exhibition "Red and Black" by Egor Koshelev. The artist deliberately abandons the color palette in his works and tries new methods while in regional cities. This experiment resulted in two major projects that became an independent chapter for the author. The author presents art with a new intonation and other subjects that were previously unusual for him.
The exhibition will run until January 18.

The a—s—t—r—a Gallery presented the Paradoxical Paradise project by Sergey Sonin and Elena Samorodova-Sonina.

The exhibition will run until January 16.

PENNLAB Gallery has opened a solo exhibition "Inside Soft Gold" by Elena Anosova, which completes the chapter of the Atlas of the First Snow project.

FUTURO Gallery has opened a solo exhibition "In the icy Ether" by Nikolai Onishchenko. The exhibition includes monochrome graphic works and an audio installation.

The Triangle Gallery presented the personal project "Space of Variations or shining Chaos" by Andrey Yefimov. The artist creates his own visual way of life in all its manifestations, making reference to the themes of nature and space.

Totibadze Gallery has opened the exhibition "Cinema/Theater of Sveta T." by fashion artist and fashion designer Svetlana Tegin, who works in the field of cinema and theater.
