DiDi Gallery presents a solo exhibition of Mikhail Roginsky (1931–2004), who was one of the key figures of the Soviet unofficial art.

The exhibition covers almost all periods of the artist, including the works of the late 1970s - early 2000s. Conceptual at its core, Roginsky initially retained the traditional form of the easel painting and came to the very border of the ready-made, creating his famous “Red Door” in 1965. Then there was a return to pictorialism, from which he again came to painting in the last few years.

The art by Roginsky is unusually whole, despite the variety of visual themes. That's true for the collage in the “Shelves” and “Bottles” series as well as numerous still lifes, including those from the French period, the “nostalgic Moscow” series of the second half of the 1990s.

His art changed regardless of fashionable discourses or curatorial request, submitting to the only connection that is important for an artist - a connection with his true inner life.
