From a young reader to the author of the exhibition: Dima Svindal presented the Balance project in Pskov

It is symbolic that the first solo exhibition of Pskov artist and musician Dima Svindal opened in the Yuri Tynyanov library. Employees of the cultural institution recalled that he first crossed her threshold at the age of 13, fascinated by literature about rock culture. Years later, he returned as an established author, a finalist of the ART MUSE contest and a member of the Cut and Glue community.

The Balance exhibition offers the viewer a unique visual experience. The artist deliberately does not give names to his works, offering to abandon attempts at rational explanation through explications.

“Try to understand, see, feel,” the author urges, defining the basis of his work as absurd in all its manifestations.

Technically, the exhibition is a dialogue of epochs: Swindel uses neural networks to generate images, which he then turns into classic paper collages, materializing digital images. Allusions to the Russian avant-garde of the early XX century are guessed in the works, as well as references to Banksy and Magritte. Attentive viewers have already seen many Easter eggs with a magnifying glass, including a collage dedicated to Kurt Cobain, and even offered the artist to release merch with his prints.

The artist interprets the name “Balance” through the prism of Michelangelo’s fresco “The Creation of Adam”: every creator reaches for great art, as a man in a fresco reaches for God. The exhibition will run until December 8.
