Dom Molodezhi Gallery 06.08 – 25.09 2019, Smolensk, Russia
Curator of the exhibition: Yana Dvoenko
Slava Nesterov is a Moscow-based contemporary artist. In his work the artist explores the symbiosis of nature and man-made artificial materials, wondering what a modern man produces and leaves as a cultural layer. Slava believes that nature has an amazing ability to regenerate and absorb, and the artist wonders what the forest will look like in the future. By combining natural elements (branches, bark, moss, earth) with plastic, the artist creates a new reality.
The metaphor for joining opposites and transforming into something new formed the basis of the visual style of the exhibition.
