About

The exhibition tells about the technique of sgraffito - a way of working with walls, color, and texture. Through the works of different generations of monumentalists, it is evident how this centuries-old technique remains a living tool for art and architecture. Sgraffito is based on a simple action: the artist removes the top layer of plaster and reveals an image through the contrast of textures and shades. In this technique, line, composition, and the resistance of the material are important - thus, the finished work is perceived as part of the wall, rather than as an image transferred onto the surface. The project considers sgraffito as a significant section of domestic monumental art. Its history goes back to the school of Higher Artistic and Technical Workshops, where future monumentalists began to be taught this technique, and the technique gained particular strength in the architecture of Soviet modernism. At that time, the walls of public buildings, residential complexes, and urban spaces became a platform for bold sculptural solutions. The halls feature works by students and graduates of specialized departments from Moscow and St. Petersburg. Among the authors are artists from different generations. Where to go in Moscow today, KUDAGO knows.
