FLASH | KIRILL KIPYATKOV

Solo Exhibition | LUCH Gallery
11 November, 2023 – 21 January, 2024

This is the first exhibition by Kirill Kipyatkov that presents only paintings made on a reflective basis. The artist is systematically using in his art reflective materials and this has become his unique recognizable technique. He uses reflective fabric as the basis for painting, and reflective beads and powder as components of coverages. Thus, he creates a special optical effect in his works, which look different in different lighting conditions, when the viewer moves, and most impressively when taking picture of the work with a photocamera flash. The exhibition has an interactive feature, inviting the visitor to active action with its name. The photocamera flash reveals the image in seemingly monochrome paintings.
