Traditionally, the cube stands for stability, permanence, materiality. In Sergey Kozhemyakin's work the cube is both an object that interrupts the flow of life and a form on which emotions and memories can be projected. The images, half obscured and half permeated by the surface of the cube, are not real, they are phantoms of seemingly prophetic landscapes, mental sculptures of consciousness.

Kozhemyakin's intricate pictorial world entails a fragile and disturbing equilibrium between cube and image, it is a world somewhere between reality and fantasy.
