I enjoyed my recent visit to see some new exhibitions in Saatchi Gallery.
Breaking the ice: Moscow Art 1960-80s was the highlight of the day. The variety and the richness of the work was astonishing! I loved Pivovarov's work and will try and find out more about the artist and his work online. Overall, a very inspiring selection of work. Thanks to Saatchi and everyone behind this exhibition for bringing it to London. http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/current/breaking-the-ice.php
Another exhibition downstairs: GAIETY IS THE MOST OUTSTANDING FEATURE OF THE SOVIET UNION
The work of Valery Koshlyakov, Sergei Valiliev and Vikenti Nilin deserves a special mention. I would recommend anyone to have a look; some of the work is also available for viewing online although you would not get the full 'gallery experience'.
Valery Koshlyakov's work is amazing and needs to be viewed in the gallery - you will not be able to get the scale and the depth of his art online.
I am including some links below to the aforementioned authors:
