"Expromt №2" is the second part of the project, first presented in spring 2024 at the Art Museum in Moscow. The exhibition will continue the story with an updated composition of works and will give a more complete idea about the graphic experiments of two masters of non-figurative art.

The exhibition will combine graphic compositions created in 1960-2000. In the artistic practice of Borisov and Mikhnov-Voitenko, music, especially jazz, occupied an important place. «The development of the theme takes place until the painting is finished», — under these completely «jazz» words Borisov could have signed and Mikhnov-Voitenko. The audience will be invited to follow the path of research and experiments, see their similarities and highlight key differences.

Pavel Gerasimenko, art critic:
«The informal art, and abstract in particular, shows an unusual attitude to the completion of the work. Artistic quality was understood as the optimal degree of internal tension - real work must have a nerve. This silent, but stubborn intonation sounds through every work, both of Evgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko and of Leonid Borisov. I wish it could be heard by today’s audience.»
