 PRESS RELEASE Sutton Lane is pleased to announce the second exhibition of Moscow artist Pavel Pepperstein. Pavel Pepperstein is one of the most influential artists of Russia’s new generation. In 1987 he co-founded the experimental group of artists called Inspection Medical Hermeneutics, which, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, developed a critical approach towards the influence of Western culture on Russia. In this new exhibition Pepperstein pursues his investigation of images, symbols and signs from mass culture, which he transforms into fanciful drawings. His previous exhibition at Sutton Lane in 2004 featured 18 drawings that combined real and fictional flags with colourful childlike drawings of flowers. In this new exhibition, Riders on the Storm, Pepperstein introduces a new series of watercolours featuring further developments of his “political hallucinations”. Combining imagery from Russian fairytales and legends with newspaper caricatures, Pavel Pepperstein creates a dreamlike landscape populated by audacious riders and mythical knights. Pavel Pepperstein lives and works in Moscow. His work has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions, such as the First Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, the Moscow Conceptualists at the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin, Berlin / Moscow, Martin-Gropius Bau in Berlin; Kunsthaus Zug, Switzerland and the Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, Germany; and Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Germany.
