Press release
On June 18, the opening of an exhibition of two Russian artists took place at ASKERI GALLERY: Alexey Golovin and Anna Sladkova presented the joint project “MY BLOOMING SOUL”, dedicated to the power of the connection between man and nature. Natural motifs draw the viewer to dialogue with their inner world and remind them of the importance of creating their “inner garden”. Sladkova’s delicate, sensual works and Golovin’s metallic, unbending flowers, like Yin and Yang, are united in the visualization of ancient symbolism, understandable to everyone.
The evening was made unforgettable thanks to the fusion of art and gastronomy. In each exhibition hall, the artists' works were embodied in an art buffet created by Ultima Yandex Food and inspired by the images in the paintings. Exquisite snacks developed by White Rabbit Family complemented the aesthetic pleasure and immersed the guests of the evening in a fabulous atmosphere. Throughout the evening, visitors were treated to delicious signature Martini-based cocktails inspired by the artists’ works. Guests were able to literally “taste art.”
“In the life of a modern person there is so little time for relaxed creation. In an effort to do everything and achieve everything, we move away from our own “I”, so that we can spend our whole lives trying to find it. And here a return to nature comes to the rescue: living, real, multifaceted, subordinate to man and at the same time unbridled and powerful, it remains the personification of our essence and the embodiment of our true aspirations. Anna Sladkova and Alexey Golovin create works in which everyone can find the answer to their inner question. This is the power of real art, which is inspired by the philosophy of existence.”
