Dimitri Kozyrev's 'Lost One' Exhibition at Benrimon Contemporary in NYC

WHAT: Last One

WHO: Dimitri Kozyrev

WHEN: March 10, 2011 - April 1, 2011
Opening reception on March 10, 2011 from 5-9pm

WHERE: Benrimon Contemporary
514 West 24th Street
2nd Fl
New York, NY 10011

WHY:

The exhibition Last One will show Kozyrev's works from the artist's two latest series Lost Edge and Last One, in which his leitmotif is the ruin or fragment. The artist references totalitarian regimes, in particular the U.S.S.R. under Stalin, and its tendency to appropriate and/or censor all avant-garde movements. Kozyrev also alludes to artists such as Malevich and the Suprematist geometries of El Lissitzsky. The layers of pictorial elements and multiple perspective orientations provide a vertiginous experience, as if speeding though a landscape at great height. Kozyrev's painterly vocabulary communicates a state of disorientation to the viewer by denying compositional unity and resolution.
