Antonina Andreev's 'Melted Picnic Memories' Blends Ceramics and Painting

Ceramicist Antonina Andreev presents her second exhibition at Galerie Artistik Rezo, 'Melted Picnic Memories,' where she debuts paintings alongside her ceramic works. The show explores the picnic as a space of memory, blending fiction and reminiscence. Andreev displays fragile, spontaneous clay pieces that transition from soft to rigid through firing, mirroring how memories are fixed and altered. The works—objects and paintings—evoke indistinct, dreamlike picnic scenes. For the first time, her objects are extended into paintings, appearing at different scales, doubled, displaced, and replayed. This blurring between volume and image questions their status, creating a circulation between material presence and mental projection. Blurriness is used as an active tool, inviting viewers to reconstruct and project. The exhibition is presented in partnership with Club Artistik Rezo.
