WORLD PREMIERE - Exhibition: Fantasmagorique - Yelena Lezhen

Yelena tries to capture what is arising in her mind: thoughts, memories, dreams, the beauty and ugliness, high and low motivations, dirty politics and wonderful tales and dreams. These are stories that sometimes slowly or sometimes fast unfold on her canvases. A passing glance is usually not enough. One needs to stop for a while, to observe closely, and to get out of the closed room of one’s perception, and try to open the door leading to understanding. You may like it or not - her peculiar art world, which makes familiar strange, makes the past the future, and makes the viewer witness love, dreams, childhood fantasies as well as subconscious phobias, and social threats.
