Ivan Zubarev transfers the rules of painting to sculptural practices - he dematerializes objects with the help of a glitch effect, creates a multilayer structure of wire, drips of wax and paint. In his words: “Everyday objects, in which layers of time are hidden, serve as inspiration. Such as the walls of facades, metal covered with rusty build-ups, dust on objects ... I am sure that by showing the formation of an image, I make time visible ...”.
