Anton Shappo "1+6"
On May 18, 2019, the ArtPort Gallery will present a new series of paintings by Anton Shappo "1+6" in the Art-Belarus hall (Kozlova str., 3). The opening of the exhibition will be held as part of the international action "Night of Museums".
About the author:
Originality of thinking, preciseness of views and estimates, creativity of life behaviour can be perceived in Anton upon the very first contact with him. He is the youngest of the Shappo brothers. The creative atmosphere of the family, which formed him, defined a wide range of interests and directions of the artist’s activities.
Anton is the managing director of the popular Minsk tattoo studio "U Lisitsy", a successful designer of interiors. In Anton’s opinion, one of the most important tasks of an artist is to create useful works, forming the living environment of a person, producing impact on human emotions, feelings, state of mind.

About the project:
"Throughout history of humankind number seven has been considered magic, filled with secret meaning. We may take any aspect of life, mention any phenomenon — number seven definitely rules the world: there are seven deadly sins, wonders of the world, rainbow dyes, days of week, notes in music and, of course, seven continents.
There are several traditions of dividing lands into parts of the world. Some cultures single out six continents, others — seven. It happens because Eurasia, which had been considered one continent for a long time, later split into Asia and Europe.
This sacramental moment of singularity, identity standing out from the whole, birth of number seven as a model of universe underlies the author’s philosophical meditations about the world’s fate and personal history of each human being. 1+6 — is a universal formula of personality as individuality, revealing itself in an indispensable connection to the surrounding world and at the same time in separation from it."
