Sergei Shablavin at Aidan Gallery

[Vladimir]

The winery until June 10 last exhibition Sergei Shablavin Formula landscape - 2 ». Two - because the first "formula" was 5 years ago.

Shablavin - Moscow conceptualist, seventies. Studied at the Faculty of Cybernetics, studied painting in the national university - often a way for an informal artist in those years. In the mid-seventies - appartment. The first mention in the "Other Art" - in 1976, the group "appartment" in the studio, Leonid juices. Then - gorkomovskie exhibition at the Georgian, the exhibition at the Kuznetsk bridge. The publication often note the closeness to the artists called Shablavin Sretenskaya Group (Kabakov, Vasiliev, Bulatov, Yankilevsky, etc.). Indeed, his conceptualism, which was built on the basis of the figurative easily seen comfortably on a par with Vasilyevsky and bulatovskim.

Work Shablavin before the crisis, often exhibited at the prestigious auction sites. Auction records - 43 thousand dollars. Record price for work that is comparable to the plot of "definable" circles - also about 40 thousand dollars for the gallery market, good work Shablavin recently proposed for 20-25 thousand dollars a recognizable artist, the work is in museums, in important meetings. Not all profile collectors make it, but if you look at a comparable number, then my oschuschueniyam that he probably underestimated.
