The Lovely Bones

Dasha Kalugina
March 17 — April 23, 2023
Triumph Gallery
The narratives of Dasha Kalugina’s paintings are rooted in the artist’s family archive. Her works, like fragments of childhood, resemble distant, half-erased memories.
Triumph Gallery presents The Lovely Bones, a solo exhibition by Dasha Kalugina. The exhibition is part of the Launchpad program supporting emerging artists.

The narratives of Kalugina’s paintings are rooted in her family archive. Her works, like fragments of childhood, resemble distant, half-erased memories. In creating them, the artist employs a method akin to double exposure, allowing her to complicate the сюжет, making it more layered and multifaceted. By combining different events, introducing associations, intensifying certain colors, and blending textures, Kalugina does not aim to reconstruct a specific moment, but rather to construct "that very" memory—an impression capable of overwhelming, simultaneously attracting and repelling.

"The aim of the project was not simply to expose emotions or put a personal diary on public display, but to show how these feelings are formed—the construction of relationships between two worlds, that of the child and the adult, and how they interact, affect, and continue to shape one another to this day," says Dasha. Through revealing the deeply personal and intimate, Kalugina leads the viewer back to themselves, inviting them to retrace the path from childhood to adulthood.
