On September 15, the DiDi Gallery opens a personal exhibition of Vadim Ovchinnikov, one of the leaders of the legendary group “New Artists”. The exhibition will present abstract and figurative paintings written in the 1990s.

Ovchinnikov’s dynamic coloristic compositions are rooted in the St. Petersburg-Leningrad cultural soil and continue the tradition of the Russian avant-garde, incorporating the author’s literary, musical and myth-making research. His passion for developing a new visual language and creating extra-spatial subjects allowed Ovchinnikov to acquire a unique artistic style and become one of the most brilliant painters of his time. During the era of perestroika, Vadim Ovchinnikov travels to the USA, from California to New York and paints a series of American paintings, and in 1993, his first personal exhibition of paintings was held at the Marble Palace of the State Russian Museum.
