"My Island" is the title of the new personal show of Nikolay Arzhanov. In each artwork there is a certain plot which is not the main thing in the painting. The main thing is the feeling of some mystery and anticipation of revealing some secret. This is a desire to play with optical effects, create a riddle, a kind of psychological test where every viewer sees something different. The title of the show – "My Island" is not accidental, as the author says this title reflects the attempts to be detached and isolated in his creative work. At the same time the title refers to the numerous cultural stratums existing around the concept of the "island".
