Evgeniya Pankratova's "Specie di spazi" at Mimmo Scognamiglio Artecontemporanea, Milan
At Mimmo Scognamiglio Artecontemporanea in Milan, twelve artworks by Evgeniya Pankratova (b. 1997, Moscow) are showcased in the solo exhibition "Specie di spazi," which runs until 30 October 2026. Curated by Milena Zanetti, this exhibit offers the most comprehensive insight into her artistic vision thus far, featuring reflective interiors that examine the interplay between the mundane, the symbolic, and the sacred. Alongside her canvases, Pankratova presents small painted cardboard models she creates prior to painting. The exhibition's title draws inspiration from Georges Perec's "Espèces d'espaces" (1974) and highlights themes of uncertainty. Notable recurring elements include hands, stars, and shadows, with "Minor Miracle" (2026) epitomizing transformation. The gallery is situated at Via Goito 7, Milan.
