October 14, 2019 at the Museum of Russian Contemporary Art POP UP MUSEUM solemnly opened the personal exhibition of Eva "Rus".
The opening was supported by the Faculty of Arts of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, the British Higher School of Art and Design, the Foundation for the Support of Arts and Museum Activities "Russian Patrons", the Museum of Russian Art MoRA in New Jersey, EVA Gallery, ARKS Design, Nikolskaya Gallery.


The Rus project was presented before December 31, 2019 on an area of ​​more than a thousand square metro. Within the framework of the exhibition, POP UP MUSEUM guests can see more than 120 works by the author of various artistic directions: painting, sculpture, video art, digital art.


The exhibition "Rus" is inspired by the work of the great writer and researcher of the human soul N.V. Gogol. In his works, Nikolai Vasilievich uses the method of removal, turning ordinary things into mysterious and mysterious. Through literary artistic images, he conveys his deepest feelings, thoughts and observations. Close to the reader at the archetype level, bright and honest, they contribute to the spiritual transformation of man. Eva uses similar tricks in her work.


"Russia" considers a person, his spiritual world in the circumstances of the XXI century. Nowadays, it is especially difficult to identify the boundaries between reality and illusion, and the information flow is similar to the very "trio" of Gogol, rushing with great speed in an unknown direction. In the modern world, it is extremely difficult to see things as they are, to build an individual worldview.


Through her work, Eva offers to get out of the usual patterns of thinking and ideas about things in our field of vision. Modern digital technologies and artistic techniques used by the artist are in dialogue with N.V. Gogol. The “Little Man” appears to be the center of the universe, and his experiences, weaknesses and vices still distract from knowing oneself and the world, revealing the best qualities of a person. The ability to value Life as it is, to explore it and seek truth is perhaps the key narrative between the work of Eve and the great writer.
