From October 22 to November 5, BIS ART GALLERY is hosting a solo exhibition by Daria Semenova titled «The Very Gentle Forest.»
It is becoming increasingly rare for modern people to escape the artificial urban environment and immerse themselves in nature. As the weather warms, more and more people venture out of dusty districts, flocking to squares, parks, nearby forests, and lakes. Among them was one person who brought a sketchbook to capture vivid characters and fascinating scenes on paper.
In her project «The Very Gentle Forest,» artist Daria Semenova presents the result of months of observation of the forest, its visitors, their lives, and habits. She does not reproduce what she sees directly but filters visible reality to reveal a mirror world full of mysteries and beauty. The characters in her works live and engage in everyday activities: fishing, doing gymnastics, walking with their beloved pets, thus reflecting their counterparts from a parallel reality.
The exhibition invites visitors to step beyond the ordinary and take a stroll through an enchanted forest, where each step reveals new secrets and wonders. Amid the delicate interplay of vibrant colors, one can sense the tenderness of the local inhabitants and the world that surrounds them.
