Andriy Bludov: Exhibition of one painting
Everything visible is just an illusion. Moreover, the basic illusion is “anthropological”. Only the chosen can see the contours of real existence. Buddhist monks wandering around the courtyards of monasteries happen to be in constant “Brownian motion”. Allegedly, they perform a ritual of disappearing from our view, hiding in the void. Dissolving into the void, which is believed to be the beginning of everything, is their main mission in their life. And movement symbolizes aimless and endless samsara – the cycle of existence.
We are honoured to present the Exhibition of one painting by Andriy Bludov from the “Tibetan Diary” series in our gallery.
From January 12 till February 6, 2024.
