Art Moscow and Salon Vert invite to a reception and solo exhibition by the Kandinsky Prize Winner (2010) Taisia Korotkova at Salon Vert in London.

In her Reproduction painting series, Korotkova combines her impressions of her recent stay in the hospital with imagery of recent technology for artificial insemination. In her images, the artist strips bare the intimate subject of child perception from any privacy by depicting the process as purely scientific, hightech and machine based. The anti-utopist Korotkova stresses that she recreates the already observed with sharper edges, while her style is reminiscent of optimistic illustrations of the 1960s with the cold pastel tones.

Korotkova paints her modern icons in the technique of traditional icon painting in tempera with a dip of humanized social realist painting. In December 2010 Taisia received the Kandinsky Prize for her Reproduction series. Taisia Korotkova will be participating in the forthcoming 4^th Moscow Biennial for Contemporary Art.

Arts Calendar Fall 2011:

In 2011 Art Moscow will host a UK Special, including a lecture series and a curated exhibition “Translate / Transcribe” curated by UK artist Ian Gonczarow featuring UK artists: Adam Thompson, Roisin Byrne, Trevor Kiernander, James Ferris, Leanne Bell Gonczarow, Fiona Curran, Charlotte Warne, Thomas Darren Banks and Jason Underhill.

Art Moscow is the highest-ranking contemporary Art fair taking place in Moscow, 21 – 25 September 2011. In 2011 the fair will be on for the 15^th year featuring national and international art galleries and attracting more than 20 000 visitors within five days. During 15 years of its existence Art Moscow has established itself as the most effective market ground for contemporary art on the Russian’s art scene that affords maximum opportunity for implementing cultural and commercial ideas. The success of Art Moscow arises from its professional adequacy to present the momentum of contemporary culture development in Russia.

During the reception Christina Steinbrecher (Art Director, Art Moscow) and Rachael Barrett (Expert of the Art Moscow Selection Committee) will be available for questions.

Special thanks to Salon Vert gallery for hosting this special event.
