Exhibition by the artist Klazki<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00abSQUIRREL JOHAN AMONG US\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dates: 22 August \u2013 16 September 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venue: ARTPLAY Design Center, Laboratory Hall,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nizhnyaya Syromyatnicheskaya, 10, building 3, entrance 3A, 2nd floor<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, a few words about the exhibition. The new show will present works by the young Russian artist Klazki.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6346\"<\/p>\n

Klazki is a Moscow-based artist, illustrator and designer. His practice is a blend of contemporary fine art, street culture, illustration and an unusual take on ordinary things. Once upon a time Klazki invented the character Squirrel Johan. He is a white squirrel. Johan goes about his business, rests, dreams, fools around, gets up to mischief, and sometimes feels sad.<\/p>\n

\u00abThe subjects of my works are the everyday life of Squirrel Johan. Johan is each of us. Perhaps tomorrow I will see you on the street or in a caf\u00e9 \u2014 and a new painting will appear\u00bb.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Klazki\u2019s works fit well into contemporary interiors and loft spaces. Alongside his beloved character, Klazki also paints on other themes.<\/p>\n

And this is how the new exhibition was installed:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have a look at the photographs and read a funny verse about a squirrel (author unknown).<\/p>\n

A squirrel has legs
\nAnd five or six toes.
\nClaws grow on its feet,
\nAnd between them \u2014 fur.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6962\"
\nBelow, the squirrel has a belly,
\nAbove, it has a back,
\nIn its mouth there is saliva,
\nThough it is almost unseen.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6968\"
\nAt the back the squirrel has a rear,
\nA tail grows out from there,
\nIn front it has a mouth,
\nWith which it eats compote.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6975\"
\n\u00abWhere does the squirrel get its compote?\u00bb \u2014
\nYou may well ask of me.
\nIt cooks it, of course, in a hollow
\nFrom apples and from barley.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6979\"
\nThe squirrel has many parts,
\nYet many things it hasn\u2019t got,
\nThey say it also sings,
\nBut I think that is rot.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6970\"
\nIf a squirrel\u2019s nose
\nRests upon your shoulder
\nThe answer, alas, is simple \u2014
\nThen the squirrel is a collar\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7015\"<\/p>\n

And if you suddenly see
\nA portrait that looks like you...
\nBut your name is not Johan.
\nYou\u2019re at a Klazki exhibition! Hello!<\/p>\n
