    | | | 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.

«I’ll be the governor and mayor of St Petersburg, and not only because I love all she- and he-inhabitants and all four-legged cohabitants, but also all to-be inhabitants and the ones who have untimely passed away. I love it all more than anyone else and know it all better than anyone else.
Good luck to everyone (more than once) in my person». Vladimir Sorokin

"THE WHITE WAY"
Painting/graphics
In the small hall |  | | | | |  | |  | | | | | I was born in St Petersburg in 1996. I started to paint at the age of 6. I got interested in painting at the age of 10. At first I was attracted by impressionism and post-impressionism. Then abstract and surrealistic painting thrilled me. From the very start I liked such artists as Pollock, Picasso, de Chirico, Rothko.
For the first time I painted on paper, imitating Pollock, trying to copy his manner, his style. About 1-1,5 years later I already created something abstract, but, however, original to some extent .

"TRASH AND FEELINGS"
Painting/graphics/objects
In the small hall |  | |  | |  | | | | | | | "For me artistry is an attempt to realize and fix in space my personal world, some kind of plastic investigation, looking for an answer to the question whether it is possible to standardize beauty and harmony. And how at times one can find them by chance in worthless humdrum objects. Most of my works include elements or things that are of no worth to people anymore, or, simply said, trash. Thrown away boards from pre-revolutionary wardrobes and cupboards, old sacks, cans, flattened by the cars passing by, packing board, etc. Inserted into a canvas they start to live their own independent life, getting into contact with other elements, change their function, running away from their former utility, and become a basis or an element of a new for them harmonic space, bringing into it their character and story."
