We are pleased to announce that Maxim Boxer returns to London for the second exhibition and auction celebrating contemporary and avant-garde Russian art with Metaphysics in Russian Art.
The phenomenon of ‘metaphysical painting’ first appeared in Italy in the works of Giorgio de Chirico, Carlo Carra and Giorgio Morandi around 1910. Their work was determined to penetrate the fundamentals of being, reaching out to the origins of objects and ideas. Although these key propositions resonated widely in Russian art and philosophy, here they underwent a distinctive reinterpretation. Rather then sharing Italian fascination with the magic of pure space, Russian artists focused on the objects. Eager to grasp the supreme existential meaning of the ordinary, they approached the reality via ‘tangible vision’, enhancing the speculation towards things with tactile contact with their form, volume, and texture.
Opening to coincide with the Russian Art Week and showcasing some 50 works by modern and contemporary Russian artists, Moscow curator and gallery owner Maxim Boxer’s Metaphysics in Russian Art exhibition will focus on the evolution of metaphysical thought behind art produced by Russian artists from the early twentieth century to the present day.
