Syntax Gallery at Blazar 2021
ABOUT
Syntax Gallery is participating in the Blazar art fair, which will be held at the Museum of Moscow, 2 Zubovsky Boulevard on 8–12 September.

This year, Syntax Gallery is joining the blazar young contemporary art fair, the satellite of the 9th edition of the Cosmoscow International Contemporary Art Fair. Syntax Gallery will introduce a selection of works by emerging artists from Belarus (Andrey Anro, Vasilisa Palianina) and Russia (Lidia Zhudro, Ivan Simonov ) who have been exhibiting in Russia and abroad and whose works have already been acquired into national and overseas museum collections.

The works that will be featured at the fair were made in various techniques, ranging from painting to graphics to collage to cut aluminium to variations of mixed media. This extensive palette of art media unites the artists in their common goal of rethinking traditional forms of expression, as well as in finding the most appropriate, situational way of addressing pressing issues and deficiencies of our time.
