On March 2, a solo exhibition by the young St. Petersburg artist Danila Dege will open at the DiDi Gallery. The project presents a series of new paintings and graphic works created by the artist during his stays in Tel Aviv and Tbilisi.

The exhibition recreates a living room, which becomes a meeting place for characters and objects from different countries and cities. The assembled room represents an ideal world in which Danila manages to create an emotional and warm space. The artist repeatedly models a safe place, engaging in therapeutic repeated actions and honing his skills on similar subjects. The exhibition immerses visitors in an atmosphere of endless meetings and conversations, stories and emotions that permeate every corner of the striped living room. The assembled room is united by a colorful striped pattern, reminding us that life is a series of not only black and white stripes.

The works presented at the exhibition contain a visual exploration of the daily life of several cultures: authentic ornaments on textiles, vases, and furniture, local plants, and domestic animals. Wherever Danila finds himself, he manages to fill his surrounding spaces with a set of unchanging objects and becomes a focal point for the most charming pets, who later become the heroes of his canvases.
