Art project DEREVJA ("Trees"),  2002

Arts Gallery affiliated to the Fyodor Shalyapin Memorial Museum,
the Skryabin Memorial Museum

“The Project is a system of parallels in contemporary art: the theme of overcoming external dualism of Earth and Heaven where the trees fall as a bridge between these to assert internal unity of the world. «When you draw a tree, you should feel it growing», said Sou Shee. When you meet an artist, you should realise how each one is similar to a tree: same ‘roots of traditions’ and ‘internal growth’, and ‘recognising by their fruit’. TREES are participants of the Project”
