February 21 - March 17 2012

Artist Yury Nashivochnikov - the pupil of one of the most important and perhaps the most enigmatic artists of the twentieth century - Ossip Abramovich Sidlin (1909 - 1972), a kind of educator and philosopher who was able to instill in their students not only the amount of tricks crafts, but art as a philosophy or more precisely, the philosophy of being plastic. As a student of the Academy of Arts O.A. Sidlin studied with such masters of the classical Russian avant-garde as Alexander Savinov, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Alexander Osmyorkin, and Kazimir Malevich. As a result of O.A. Sidlin created his own serious The school, in some measure his style. After the death of a teacher Yury Nashivochnikov gathered around him young artists who have formed a new school, which he called the School "Wall of the Temple." Various creative pursuits of A. Nashivochnikov and artists of the School "Wall of the Temple" are in some sense, the modern aesthetics lab, which developed the theory and practice base of contemporary art, focusing on a monumental visual arts, studied the general laws of harmony in the different directions of art. Artists of School "Wall of the Temple", together with representatives of Saint-Petersburg Philosophy organized several exhibitions held at the Philosophical Faculty of Saint-Petersburg State University and IFA Gallery with the support of the "Union of the Arts" of Saint-Petersburg in 2007 - 2010, respectively, and were accompanied by philosophical conferences and conversations.

This exhibition celebrates the 90th anniversary of Yury Nashivochnikov - amazing master, tirelessly leading the "Eternal search for perfection" in many areas of modern art.

Thanks to Alexander Andrushchenko and Isaac Kushnir for providing the pictures for the exhibition.

With love to the Master,
