At Cosmoscow, DiDi Gallery will present a solo stand by Leonid Borisov, a representative of Leningrad's unofficial art.

Leonid Borisov (1943-2013) — Soviet and Russian abstract artist, constructivist. One of the leading figures of the Leningrad underground. DiDi Gallery has been working with the artist's legacy for over 10 years and in the new fair edition will present selected works reflecting the artist's retrospective from the 1970s.

The DiDi Gallery stand is dedicated to the author's interpretation of the color black as a formative element in space. The artistic research of the "geometry of black" accompanied the work of Leonid Borisov throughout his life, spanning the artist's creative period from the 1970s to the 2010s.

The artist's works played a key role in the development of movements such as geometric abstraction, minimalism and ready-made, becoming an important milestone in the formation of the modern domestic art scene.

Alexander Borovsky, head of the Department of Modern Trends of the State Russian Museum:

"Working in the field of objectified medial formation with its geometric, optical, kinetic, tactile and other characteristics, he yearned to imbue his works with autobiography. So, 'citizens, listen to me...' This autobiography, as it were, is read in his careless compositional seams, textural crevices and splinters no less than in his captivating art-pangeometry."

See you at booth A13!
