Candida Stevens Gallery

Blue Sky Red

On view from 20th - 26thth May at Cromwell Place.

Blue Sky Red presents the latest series by British-based Russian-Born artist’s practice, featuring vibrant new paintings, textile and drawing works bursting with colour and confidence, such as Thinking Red (2024) portraying a female figure in a voluminous crimson dress. Doing away with the constraints of ‘high’ and ‘low’ subjects, Smirnoff blends the sacred and the profane, the sublime and earthly, pulling the viewer into a realm of magic and mystery, illusory and irresistible – guided by Smirnoff’s boundless imagination and ultimately by the paint itself.
