Fann À Porter Gallery is holding Cosmodreams: Elementa, an enthralling solo exhibition by contemporary artist Marina Fedorova. Presented by Sputnik Partners, a design house and art platform, the show is part of Fedorova’s ongoing Cosmodreams project, inviting one to contemplate humanity’s connection with the planet. The exhibition will be open to the public until 20 January 2025.
Launched in 2017, the Cosmodreams project blends fine art with cutting-edge digital technology to delve into humanity’s evolving relationship with space, technology, the future, and nature. Fedorova’s vision for the project was to create an immersive and visually captivating experience, resulting in a multifaceted body of work. Cosmodreams incorporates a full range of mediums, including large-scale oil paintings, sculptures, prints, art objects, video art, and a specially designed Augmented Reality environment.
In the Elementa exhibition, Fedorova continues her artistic exploration of humanity’s bond with the natural world and focuses on the fundamental elements of water, air, and earth. These elements are portrayed through dynamic forms like waterfalls, mists, and clouds, symbolising their essential role in existence and their influence on human experience and civilisation.
Employing multiple mediums, Fedorova creates an evocative space that bridges the vast cosmos with the intimate realities of daily life. Her artworks provoke thought on the intersections of human progress, technological evolution, and the natural environment.
About the artist
Marina Fedorova’s art draws inspiration from diverse sources, from American hyperrealism, Japanese woodblock prints, and pop art to modernism. Her works primarily focus on female portraits, celebrating strength, beauty, and femininity. Known for her mastery of texture, relief, and vibrant colour, her technique creates a striking 3D effect, adding depth and dynamism to her pieces.
Fedorova has showcased her creations in many exhibitions and art events, such as ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair (Shanghai Exhibition Centre, China, 2023); Art Dubai (2022); Cosmodreams (solo) (Contemporary Art Museum Erarta, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 2020); Italy in my heart (solo), Kadieff Gallery (a parallel programme of Venice Biennale, Italy, 2013); and Royal College of Art Charity Auction (Sokol Fine Art Gallery, London, UK, 2011), among others.
In 2008, Fedorova was selected as the Artist of the Year by Nicolas Feuillatte (Champagne, France) and earned a nomination for the Kandinsky Prize (Central House of Artists, Moscow, Russia). In 2007, she was an official painter of the 7th International Ballet Festival MARIINSKY (Saint Petersburg, Russia).
The artist’s works are part of public and private collections, which include the State Russian Museum (St. Petersburg), KGAL Art Gallery Foundation (Germany), Shoes or No Shoes Museum Foundation (Belgium), and the Collection of Mikhail Tsaryov (Moscow Contemporary Art Collectors’ Club, Russia), to name a few.
