1703 St.Petersburg Art Fair

The gallery stand introduced the drawings and paintings by Yulia Virko to the public. The artist adds on to this traditional medium with various experiments: combination, layering, collage, photo archives, and continuously revised textures. Yulia devotes special attention to color in her work. The sophisticated complex story in each painting, laden with a series of unexpressed feelings and emotions, became her signature style.

“For us, participation in the 1703 fair along with the main galleries of the country was an opportunity to look into the future of contemporary Russian art together with visitors, — Natalia Grabar said. — Art fairs are crucial for the art community all over the world, important acquaintances are developed there, and new names often receive well-deserved recognition. It’s wonderful that St. Petersburg has its own fair now”.
