    | | | Created for the support of Petersburg artists (both participation in the exhibitions and entrance are free), in the course of time the Gallery became a rather prestigious spot for organization of exhibitions both of domestic and foreign artists. We believe that in the situation when there are few exhibition spaces in the city and a great scale of creative ideas, aesthetic concepts and artistic practices, the main actual task is to present as many artists as possible independent on genre and technology. Exhibitions in the Borey Gallery are in the non-stop regime. It is a basic principle of the Gallery to support beginning artists and creators (the first exhibition, the first book, the first article). Absence of aesthetic snobbery and restraints in the interests of a special group of artists. Accessibility and openness.

In 1992 he graduated from Stavropol regional college.
From 1996 till 2001 he practiced painting in Zheleznovodsk, Stavropol region.
Since 2001 he’s been living and working in St Petersburg.
Member of the Russian Artists’ Union. «Aspiration for perfection is the artist’s addiction. He surely creates each of his works for eternity or, at worst, for art. Whether he wants it or not, the creator himself carries the burden of responsibility for his contemporaries’ spiritual renewal, as he possesses a miraculous talent to see the world familiar to an eye as if “for the first time”. On this way the artist experiments a lot to invent a unique language of his works, to knock on his viewer’s heart». Anna Mazut

“HEEDLESS OF THE PROUD WORLD'S ENJOYMENT…”
Painting
In the small hall |  |  |  | Mikhail Shapiro: “I was born and lived on Pushkinskaya street for 64 years. I was brought up in a family of a leading collector and Pushkin scholar, surrounded by lifetime and rarest scholarly editions of Pushkin’s works, which I was never allowed to approach due to non-sterility of my hands. This subject couldn’t pass me over, but since childhood I perceived Pushkin as a monument, which works as Pushkin, namely writes poems. When I was four, my aunt gave me a book of Marshak’s poems as a gift. I exclaimed in surprise: “Is Marshak Pushkin of a kind?” And the aunt worked as the poet’s secretary, Marshak was informed about it, and he was thrilled to bits. If all others transformed Pushkin into a monument as far as he penetrated into them, for me from the very start he was as a bronze monument, which I tried to humanize. In my imagination he lives his own life, meets himself and other inhabitants of Pushkinskaya street. Sometimes he meets his characters, too. For instance, while drinking port, he teaches the old man how to tell his old woman a fairy-tale about the goldfish. And as he is made of bronze and will live forever – what can happen to him? – I will always collect stories about him and draw sketches”. http://www.borey.ru/en/content/view/261/37/ |

Sergey Bakin was born in Leningrad in 1957.
Graduated from art college affiliated to the Academy of Arts, Then there was Mukhina Higher Arts and Crafts College, faculty of clothes design.
For seven years he worked by profession at Leningrad Model House.
He considers Rodion Gudzenko, an artist belonging to the older generation of Leningrad underground, to be his teacher in painting.
He works in a technique of oil painting, with watercolor, pastel, ceramics.
He’s actively participated in exhibitions in Russia and abroad since the mid 80s.
His works are in private collections in Russia, USA, France, Sweden, England, Germany. "Graphic structure of Bakin’s pictures is light and bright, nevertheless his landscapes are highly “material”, dense and textured. The artist’s works are distinguished by absolute generalization. With one single line, deprived of any twists, the artists expresses a posture of a figure, a character, a mood; now it’s a man’s ingratiating pose, then a dancer’s subtle movement. In these compositions he works with big color spots brought to pure colors, highlighting pale spots - faces. Bakin’s images are full of inner expression and at times of profound tragedy. Intense vibration of colors, lines, silhouettes’ fractures are the “pulsation” of life, covered with nostalgic veil of captivating and painful beauty of art. Bakin – an artist and a man – is absorbed with a flow of everyday life, with a difficult life of a big, diversified city full of contrasts, a capital which used to be glorious and is fading now. The artist doesn’t feel shy to be simple in his complicated and excellent painting." Alexander Sementsov |
