On February 10, Kirill Doeshvili's personal exhibition "Here and Now Forever" will open in the "Main Exhibit" living room. The project - philosophical tales about inner freedom - will present a reading of the artist's work through the prism of philosophical questions that give rise to his works. The exhibition is held in collaboration with the contemporary art gallery a-s-t-r-a gallery, where Kirill Doeshvili is a resident.

The author creates his own worlds, in which fantasy intertwines with reality, and the characters are mythical animals. The artist gives the viewer the opportunity to read these stories, the key to which are the poetic and philosophical titles of the works.

Behind the artist's visual language, using naive art as a means, lies a deep philosophical worldview. Each of the works raises a layer of global questions, which the curator of the project, Natalia Tomashevskaya, invites us to reflect on.

The exhibition builds a dialogue with each viewer on issues of personal worldview, inner freedom, the search for the meaning of life and the importance of living the moment “here and now forever”.

The key feature of the exhibition “Here and Now Forever” – as well as other exhibition projects in the “Main Exhibit” living room – is the gamification of the viewer’s experience through inclusion in a mediation game. Kirill’s works were previously presented in the second edition of the “Main Exhibit” game.

Kirill Doeshvili is an artist at the beginning of his career, a poet and musician who studied art, philosophy, poetry, literature and attended courses at the Repin Academy as an auditor. “I dig deep into the earth to find the purest water, and this is my path that I must take,” says Doeshvili and tries on subjective and metaphysical time on the plane of paper, taking the position of a master working with reality. For him, drawing itself turns into an interlocutor, then into a stranger, with whom he begins to juggle images. The artist is an architect of worlds. It is symbolic that Doeshvili uses archival architectural paper when creating spaces for his characters. Kirill's works are in private collections in Australia, England, Germany, Russia, the USA, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic.
