The contemporary Russian artist, Lavrenty Bruni (1961), unites the floral world with ballet in this exhibition. His millefleur bouquets, petals and compositions were already presented at the Artvera's gallery in 2011. This time he introduces ballerinas from the Bolshoi Theatre within the walls of the gallery in Geneva.
The title of the exhibition is a playful reference to the dance adaptation of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy. Bruni’s works echo the ballet’s themes of reality versus illusion. In his large-scale oil paintings and watercolors, the artist explores the complexity of dance, capturing the transition and change in the state of form.
