In our dynamic age of technology and social upheaval, when other artists are trying by all means to influence the viewer the supersaturated information, creativity of Shipilin discourages clear intent and apparent ease of execution. But behind this professional knowledge of the basics of painting and drawing lies the search of his own artistic language and respect for nature. The picturesque old curvature of the Crimean streets, chaotic jumble of buildings, covered tiled roofs, balconies, staircases, passages through which to view the sky, the sea, - themselves suggest the artist perspective, the point of the horizon and finally, composition in accordance with the best tradition of the Crimean school of Academical Art.

The ability of the master - to see the beauty everywhere and adjust it on his canvas, based on his emotions, feelings and memories, this is what Shipilin does. As a result, ordinary and familiar scenes are transformed into memorable and original compositions.

In front of Igor Shipilin’s works, the viewer cannot help but continue the artist’s "story" about the simple and precious moments of life that remain with us forever.

The exhibition will also feature a joint project between Igor Shipilin and the Emirati artist Faiza Mubarak: 2 sculptural installations produced and organized by the N2N Gallery as a unique example of intercultural artistic production. The project brings together the creative force of Emirati artist Faiza Mubarak and Crimean artist Igor Shipilin: East and West merge in the same artwork, showing Abu Dhabi from traditional and modern point of view, as a city that unites different worlds in one place
