Sergei Tchoban's Imaginary Cities at Antonia Jannone Gallery
Russian architect Sergei Tchoban, recently awarded the European Prize for Architecture, presents 'Den-city – Urban Landscape' at Antonia Jannone Gallery in Milan. The exhibition features drawings in watercolor, pencil, and ink on paper that blend real and imagined urban landscapes. Tchoban's meticulous style, openly referencing Piranesi, creates fantastical volumes and constructions through a continuous stratification of styles, languages, and signs. The series also includes portraits of real cities like Shanghai, Bangkok, Delhi, and Tokyo, capturing their layered urban fabrics. This show marks Tchoban's return to the gallery ten years after his 'Aqua' exhibition.
