Exhibition: Now Open by Dima Rebus

The first solo exhibition of art by Dima Rebus, one of the most popular Russian artists of the new generation, will be on display at the Polish House on Exhibition Road in South Kensington from 4 to 9 July.

Dima Rebus works in the Underground Aquarellka genre (his own invention), which has won recognition as an integral part of contemporary Russian youth subculture.

The first London exhibition by Dima Rebus consists mainly of new works by the artist, but also tracks the evolution of key semantic elements in the Rebus universe, with its plot twists and central characters: a flare pistol, butterflies, parrots and black holes. The detailed works shown here combine the aesthetics of photorealism with elements of surrealism and use the labour-intensive technique of watercolour, which requires special technical mastery.

Dima took part in the 5th Moscow International Biennale of Young Art in 2016. In 2018 he contributed to the Mad House group exhibition at the Multimedia Art Museum Moscow (one of Russia’s leading museums of contemporary art).
