The curators of the gallery have prepared an exposition dedicated to New Year's themes in art and invites you to enter timelessness, when miracle is in the air, the desire to eat certain dishes awakens and there is a reason to give each other gifts.

If we take a look at the semantics of the New Year, we can find that today our collective memory bears traces of both pagan rituals (the image of Santa Claus) and Orthodox (the Birth of Christ). In the Russian tradition the New Year holidays are considered to be the most sacred period, when the absolute majority repeat the same "rituals" year after year: they prepare Olivier, watch "The Irony of Fate", make wishes with the chimes, watch the President's New Year address (even without sound) and decorate the space around. Since childhood, vivid images associated with the mystery of the New Year and winter in general are deposited in our head.

With a new exhibition, DiDi Gallery says goodbye to the passing year and turns to artistic comprehension of the scenes around us in winter. New Year in Russia, of course, is a cultural phenomenon of our country and carries a rich historical heritage. The exposition does not pretend to illustrate all winter scenes, but only shows a part of them. The gallery team this time departs from the theoretical understanding of the works and focuses on the culture of everyday life, which is reflected in the presented works.

See you in the New Exhibition Season!
