In the Asian restaurant Sintoho will be shown works of Alexandra Kokacheva from the cycle «China» and animalistic sculptures of Konstantin Reshetnikov.

The graphic series of Alexandra is inspired by the artist’s long stay in the Celestial Kingdom and brings the viewer into the atmosphere of a modern Asian metropolis. The pulsating color brings life to the rigid lines of the compositions and conveys the main idea of the author: a symbiosis of nature and city, the disordered rhythm of organic with its subsequent development by humans. The entrance group is joined by a series of sculptures by Konstantin Reshetnikov, in which the author reinterprets the appearance of mythical unicorns and dragons. The artistic process for him is a kind of scientific activity with the ability to propose hypotheses and carry out research based on them. As a futurist scientist, Konstantin experiments with the shape and color of metal, representing his characters in a single time-space dimension.

The work presented in the project embodies the idea of the world’s connection between reality and fantasy, inspiring reflection on human interaction with the surrounding world. The strict graphics of the works combined with intense colors continues the main line of visual code of the restaurant Sintoho and represents a delicate balance between tradition and modernity. 

The Percorso Italian restaurant will host a group of sculptures by Antonina Fatkhullina.

The main line of the story is built around the sculpture in which the artist recreates a portrait of the master of the Northern Renaissance Hieronymus Bosch. In the first room, the audience will meet miniature sculptures-drawings - welded from wire aerial silhouettes of birds. Mysterious creatures, as if torn from the paintings of the artist, invite guests to a fascinating journey through Italy.

In the second room there is a large sculpture group, in which the graphic rigor of the iron lines combines with the faktura of individual details. Contrasting in color and different in physical properties materials turn heroes into guests from other worlds. The twisted metal threads liven up and take on a human form, representing the conversation between mind and senses. The work presented in the project encourages the guests of the restaurant Percorso to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Renaissance and see the impalpable line between art and reality.
