What happens when separate forms collide — when fragments meet, overlap, or resist? Combinations brings together artists who work with juxtaposition as both method and meaning. Whether through collage, layering, or assembly, each work in the exhibition becomes a composite — not just of materials, but of perspectives, temporalities, and visual languages.

The show features contributions from resident and guest artists of A2 Gallery, including Natalia Awenius, Vladimir Kordiukov, Irina Zimina, Margarita Moreva, Zhang Jinwei, and others. Some works explore abstraction through cut and rearranged textures; others rely on found imagery, textile layering, or material assemblage to reconstruct space. From torn paper and embedded textiles to painted fragments and reworked prints, the act of combination opens a field of compositional tension — harmony and rupture living side by side.

Rather than presenting a singular curatorial theme, Combinations invites the viewer into an ongoing process: seeing how visual systems — colors, marks, shapes — can intersect and transform through proximity. The exhibition resists closure. It is structured as an open form, a network of relations between individual artistic vocabularies, each one contributing a layer to the whole. Across four months, Combinations acted as both exhibition and visual research — into how artists navigate fragmentation and form.
