Anastasia Karlova, leading researcher in the Russian Museum's Department of Contemporary Art, gave a lecture on the work of artist Arkady Petrov.
The event at DiDi Gallery provided an excellent opportunity to learn more about the legendary Moscow artist and immerse themselves in the fascinating world of his work.
The exhibition spans several periods of the artist's career, from the late 1980s to the present day, and features both painting and sculpture. Nostalgia for the Soviet past, questions of Russian self-identification, and the social and political problems of the modern state—all of this is reflected in Arkady Petrov's works with his characteristic irony.
