"Without Halftones" – an exhibition that erases the boundaries between shadow and light, between doubt and conviction. Four artists – Anatoly Kakalov, Dmitry Ermolov, Karen Terzya, and Irina Psculkovska – present works filled with bold contrasts, deep emotions, and pure forms. Without Halftones at the Russian Art Center strips visual language down to its essentials, leaving no room for indecision. Four artists — Anatoly Kakalov, Dmitry Ermolov, Karen Terzya, and Irina Psculkovska — approach the theme through sharp contrasts and unambiguous gestures. The works feel direct yet varied: Kakalov’s dense compositions hold tension like a clenched fist; Ermolov plays with stark geometry; Terzya moves between abstraction and figurative hints; Psculkovska’s pieces capture moments of pure emotional charge.
The strength of the exhibition lies not only in the individual works but in how they’re placed. Curator Valentina Shaeva resists the temptation to soften the edges between artists. Instead, she arranges the pieces so that the shifts in tone are abrupt, even provocative — a layout that mirrors the show’s title. The result is a space where the viewer can’t simply drift from work to work; each step feels like crossing a threshold from one uncompromising statement to another.
Without Halftones isn’t about finding balance. It’s about standing on one side or the other, in light or in shadow, and noticing how that choice changes what you see.
