About the exhibition
Anatoly Belov is a legend of Kyiv’s queer art scene. His artistic practice has at various times been linked to graphics, street art, performance and film. He is one of the founders of the R.E.P. group, which became an important artistic milieu in Ukraine after the Orange Revolution. He gained popularity through electronic music. Belov started with performance music, forming the band Penoplast, and since 2012, together with Gosha Babansky, he has been creating the first queer-pop project in Ukraine – Lyudska Podoba. During his residency at Galeria Labirynt, he began creating a new series of painting works.
The basis of his creative method is personal experience, which is most often shared by many people from the LGBTQ+ community. Belov’s art thus becomes universal and, at the same time, thanks to the diversity of techniques and media, multifaceted and moving. The exhibition at Azyl Library features his graphic works, films and recent paintings created in Lublin.
After the opening of the exhibition, we invite you to Galeria Labirynt headquarters, ul. Popiełuszki 5, for a concert by Belov and a afterparty.
