Alexandre Beridze

Was born in Leningrad in 1975, he is grandson of a Russian painter Fedor Kholenkov. He graduated from Tbilisi Academy of Fine Art. IN 2000 Alexandre moved to France and worked as a graphic designer for various advertising agencies in Paris. For several years Alexandre had been working at Philippe Starck's creative laboratory where he took master class on the theory of minimalism called "Less is more". Art critics point out rich color palette of Alexandre Beridze's works, his experiments with coloristics, various painting techniques and graphic images. The artist has formulated his own art theory and called it "Lines of Color". This theory gave the name to the exhibition in Adler Gallery, which, basing on the idea of spectrum, started that everything around us consists of color fragments and lines that together form the whole picture.

Alexandre calls his art style "expressive suprematism": he creates new visual dimension through the combination of abstraction and geometry.

The artist has participated in Phillip auctions, as well as the exhibitions in Monaco, Italy, Spain, France, Great Britain and Belgium.

Elena Begma

Discovered many sources of inspiration in the complexity and diversity of the visible world, historical and socio-cultural processes. No less important for the artist is the art of the great predecessors. However, to Begma, as an artist, the shallow imitation of the past, as well as the squandering and devaluation of inherited heritage is unacceptable.

Today as more and more artists are experimenting with using light as it's own media, Begma's works are an example of how light can be used as a subject in a more traditional medium.

Elena Begma successfully participated in the exhibitions in France, Russia, Italy, Slovakia, China.

Mikhail Dyachkov

He is the Graduate of the Art and Graphic Department of the Moscow Pedagogical University. He currently works as an artist, as well as a designer and advertiser.

In his works the artist uses physical properties of light to employ it as an artistic medium. Similarly, to how a traditional artist would use a brush, Dyachkov uses a set of mirrors, prims and magnets.

Through deploying these tools, the artist reflects and refracts light in different directions, as well as alters its colour and intensity. The result of Dyachkov's manipulations is an abstract, geometrical composition, that is "painted" on the panel.

Galina Poloz

She was born in Moldavian Soviet Socialistic Republic, she has graduated with honours from the Chisinau Art College.

Influences of Abstract Expressionism can be seen in the way that Poloz intuitively applies strokes in these pieces. However, rather than simply reiterating said movement's visual aesthetics, Poloz builds upon them by combining these characteristic strokes with modern technology.

As a medium, stereo-light-panels have only started to be employed by artists fairly recently, most famously by American sculptor Dale Chihuly, who made an effective use of their glass-like properties.

While these properties are also utilized in Poloz's works, she primarily focuses on the panel's ability to conduct light. This gives the marks in her works, a translucent and luminescent characteristic, captivating the viewers.

Konstantin Khudyakov

He is one of the founders of digital art in Russia. The artist is President of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia, Vice President of the Russian Academy of Arts and Honorary Artist of the Russian Federation.

Khudyakov's works achieve a three-dimensional virtuality of images due to the artist's mastery of the most advanced technologies. This aspect of the artist's works allows to combine virtuality and reality.

The works of Konstantin Khudyakov can be seen in the museums and collections of Vienna, Moscow, New York, Osaka, Beirut, Rome
