About the exhibition
An Exhibition curated by ROBINEAU ART at the Intersection of Imagination and Reality
An exploration of how nature, animals, and landscapes are reimagined and intertwined with cultural myths, surrealism, and personal narratives. In a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy continue to blur, this exhibition brings together contemporary artists who challenge our perceptions of the natural world, offering alternative visions that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Set against the backdrop of Moscow’s rich artistic heritage where folklore, and symbolism have long shaped cultural identity; Dreamscape reflects on the timeless role of nature in storytelling.
Just as Russian literature and art have historically embraced the mystical and the poetic, this exhibition invites viewers into a world where landscapes are more than places; they are vessels of memory, imagination, and transformation.
Through a collection of paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media works, the exhibition highlights how artists from different backgrounds reinterpret the natural world, infusing it with surreal elements and layered narratives.
The exhibition is divided into sections, each explored by different artists
The Living Landscape by Nina Sechko – The artist depict nature as a sentient force, reflecting deep cultural traditions and self consciousness. the selected works reflect the emotional and symbolic connections we form
Mythic Beasts and Guardians by Jordy Kerwick – A space where legendary creatures and animal totems merge with contemporary artistic expression, embodying both strength and vulnerability in an ever-changing world.
Portals and Parallel Realities by Kebeyo Chen – Works that use surrealism, intricate framing, and sculptural elements to suggest passageways into alternative dimensions, where perception itself is questioned.
As Russia’s artistic legacy has long embraced the interplay between the mystical and the real from the fantastical visions of Vrubel to the dreamlike compositions of Chagall, Dreamscape continues this tradition, but through the lens of contemporary artists who navigate today’s shifting realities. By blending personal mythology with shared cultural symbols, this exhibition reminds us that nature is not just something we observe; it is a force that shapes our dreams, our identities, and the way we see the world.
NINA SECHKO
Nina’s paintings unfold like visual poetry, weaving together mythology, personal history, and universal symbols of femininity and renewal. Rooted in her experience of growing up surrounded by strong women—her mother, grandmother, sister, and now her own daughters, her work reflects the warmth and care passed down through generations.
In Dreamscape, these paintings become meditations on life’s cyclical nature, where the apple tree serves as both a deeply personal and archetypal metaphor.
-
The apple tree in her work is more than a motif, it is a symbol of fertility, continuity, and the inevitability of change. Like a woman, the tree exists in phases: blooming, bearing fruit, shedding its apples, and resting in winter.
The apples themselves become stand-ins for human life, fragile yet inevitable, nurtured yet subject to fate. In Harvesting, the contrast between apples still clinging to the tree and those that have fallen speaks to the unpredictable nature of existence, where a gust of wind or an unseen hand can alter one’s path in an instant.
Through a restrained yet powerful use of light, always emanating from a single source, Nina evokes the spiritual dimension of these works, subtly referencing the presence of the divine. Drawing from Greek mythology, Slavic folklore, and religious iconography, her paintings transcend the personal to become a shared human narrative, reminding us that we are all part of the same eternal rhythm of growth, transformation, and renewal.
Nina Sechko’s sculptures: Earth, Femininity, and Sacred Form
Nina’s sculptures stand as echoes of ancient fertility goddesses, grounding her exploration of womanhood in something primal and eternal. Inspired by pre-historic depictions of female deities, her figures emphasize rounded forms, seated postures, and a profound connection to the earth.
These works do not merely depict women; they embody the essence of femininity as a force of creation, resilience, and cyclical renewal.
The exaggerated hips and grounded postures speak to the deep-rooted relationship between women and the natural world, reflecting the same cycles seen in her paintings of the apple tree—birth, growth, decline, and rebirth.
Her use of mythology continues in sculptural form, where references to the Hesperides, the Greek nymphs guarding the sacred apple tree merge with the spiritual weight of Slavic and Buddhist traditions. The figures, solid and timeless, remind us of the unbroken lineage of feminine energy that has nurtured, protected, and sustained life throughout history.
In these works, Nina invites the viewer to experience femininity not just as an aesthetic subject, but as a sacred and universal creation.

Mythic Beasts in a Surreal Wilderness
Jordy Kerwick’s paintings unravel like modern-day fables, where animals and landscapes exist in a dreamlike state—familiar yet untamed, primal yet poetic. His textured layers and distinctive use of color create a world where tigers, wolves, and serpents move freely between the real and the mythical. Rooted in his Australian identity, Kerwick channels the vastness of the wild landscape into his compositions, transforming nature into a theater of surreal storytelling.
The Tiger Sculpture: The Tiger’s Gaze – A Totem of Strength and Illusion
Kerwick’s double jaw tiger head sculpture emerges as guardian of the Dreamscape—watchful, bold, and enigmatic. Crafted with raw materiality and an almost ritualistic simplicity, these work bridge the physicality of sculpture with the psychological depth of mythology. The tiger, often a central figure in his paintings, now takes three-dimensional form, standing as both a symbol of strength and an illusion of control.
Drawing from ancient totems and modern surrealism, Kerwick’s sculptural tiger stares at the viewer with a 3rd eye unwavering and full of presence evokes the primal connection between humans and nature, a reminder of our instinctual selves.

KEBEYO CHEN
Kebeyo Chen is a Shanghai-based artist renowned for her intricate framing and sculptural elements, which suggest passage into alternative dimensions where perception itself is questioned. Her work represents the next frontier of art beyond the canvas.

Kebeyo Chen’s paintings are more than just images; framed by intricate, sculptural borders that blur the line between artwork and architectural relic. Each frame is ornated, twisted, and deeply textured and acts as an entryway, inviting the viewer to step inside while reminding them of the constructed nature of perception.
In this exhibition, her works take on an almost dreamlike duality. Ethereal visions of forests where the trees seem to breathe, creatures that appear as fleeting specters of memory.
Drawing from cultural myths and personal narratives, Chen’s work transforms traditional storytelling into layered visual experiences, where the physical world and the subconscious intertwine. Her paintings don’t just depict nature; they shape the way we see it, reminding us that imagination is the most powerful lens of all.
Kebeyo Chen Sculptures are echoes and whispering forms of the subconscious
Kebeyo Chen’s sculptures act as memory-keepers of a world just beyond reach. They might resemble fossilized myths, petrified spirits, or remnants of landscapes from another realm. Their fluid, interwoven textures suggest transformation rock becoming flesh, roots becoming veins, history merging with the present in a single, undulating form. These works challenge the boundaries of what is seen and what is felt, reinforcing the exhibition’s central theme: that nature and imagination are inseparable forces, shaping the stories we tell and the worlds we create.
