Catalogue Note

“Evgeny’s works express the odd symbiosis of typical city situations, including their paradox, the ridicule of advertising clichés and irony as an aesthetic category, which replaces beauty in an epoch of change… Evgeny cultivates the city culture, interpreting the city as a place of most interesting existential collisions. He is not afraid of crossing horizons in order to enrich his experiences, which make up our fast-paced, colourful and unreliable world.” Gamal Bokonbayev, Gloss, 2010
