Artwin Gallery presents Vladimir Chernyshev's first solo exhibition in London, curated by Alesya Veremyeva. The exhibition delves into Vladimir Chernyshev’s varied methodologies, showcasing the documentation of land art projects, monumental mural drawings that will cease to exist after the display period, newly created objects, and paper works. The artist emphasises themes of decay and transformation, reflecting on the act of creation itself—a vital aspect of earlier art epochs where time plays a significant role.
Chernyshev's projects explore the contrast between the intrinsic world and the human (and non-human) experience, employing a mix of studio practice, land art, and installations. His choice of materials—wood, tar, soot, wax, and rosin—often highlights the tragedy of their subtle erasure, inviting viewers to contemplate the cycles of creation and dissolution. The artist's work resonates with the enduring themes of existence, encapsulating the tension between permanence and impermanence.
