Serene Gallery presents a new body of work by Victoria Kosheleva. The exhibition opens on the 3rd of October.

​Victoria was born in 1989 in Moscow.  She has been living and working in Paris since 2014. 
Victoria studied at Russian Academy of Arts in Moscow and Parsons New School of Design in New York. She has had numerous solo and group shows in Paris, Milan, Basel and Moscow. Her works have been acquired by private collectors in Europe and US. ​
 
The exhibition will feature new works, in which the artist is searching for a moment of calm and serenity. Visitors will see already familiar characters from Kosheleva’s world, who freeze on the canvases in search of this moment. Objects and interiors are also becoming characters of the story and they are inviting the viewer into their deceptive calm.
 
In her artistic practice, Victoria combines contemporary and classical imagery. In one of her interviews, she described her work as "cyber expressionism." The subconscious plays an important role in Victoria's art practice. In her paintings she strives to create surrealistic worlds consisting of memories and fantasies, images and landscapes that are taken out of their usual context. She often uses images of phone screens or movie screens and mirrors, all of which act as portals to the theater of the unconscious.
