Graphics, painting, and wire objects come together in a story of form-seeking from the post-war decades to the end of the 20th century. The exhibition showcases the creative path of August Lanin. His early linocuts are connected to memories of war, family history, and a tense view of human experience. In the series from the early 1960s, the material world is still recognizable but begins to disintegrate into rhythms, signs, and dense black-and-white structures. Nearby, monotypes and mixed techniques appear, where the artist moves away from direct representation. The painting of the 1970s and 1980s reveals a different scale of thinking. For Lanin, the painting operates as a multilayered system where cinema, literature, scientific ideas, and reflections on space intersect. These works did not align with the usual expectations of the Leningrad artistic environment, thus provoking debates, resistance, and strong admiration. A separate line is dedicated to the framework objects of the 1990s. For the master, wire acts as a drawing brought into the air: the line ceases to be flat and begins to outline the void. All entertainment in St. Petersburg is gathered on KUDAGO.
