One of the key features of Artyom’s work is to break the space, to see what happens to the building architecture if it becomes a cinematic surface. In this work, the painting is connected to the size of façade tiles. The surface seems to pulse as it is viewed by spectators. A spectator represents the fourth element in 3-dimensional static space. It is the spectator who puts the plot together to create an integral picture, and it comes to life in spectator’s perception.
