The autumn series of exhibitions in DiDi Gallery opens a personal project of the St. Petersburg artist Maxim Ima. Maxim was a voice for a long time, or rather, the text of the city, streets, firewalls, and now presents its new series of already studio picturesque and graphic works "HERBARIUM".
"Herbarium - a collection of plants prepared in a special way," the dictionary tells us. Herbarium Maxim Ima - collected in the corners of the imagination series of colors and plant forms, splashing in the white sheet space in bizarre outlines and transformations. The flower is the simplest form of beautiful in the visual and symbolic worlds. Flowers in herbarium - a pure ornament, a form on the border of the living and frozen, making this transition explicit. Flowers - best bullets, because they expose the freight and dying outside violence.
Under the epigraph in the form of a poem "Flowers Better Bully" by Evgenia Yevtushenko will be held the first personnel of the artist for the last five years, where a series of more than 20 works specifically created for the DIDI gallery will be presented.
