Auction 2 ART FOR HEART
By Melissa
Jun 17, 2021
Moscow, Tverskaya 3 street, -2 floor Hotel The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow, Russia

In 2017, Melisa Erdem, a student from The International School of Moscow, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and fought for her life in the intensive care unit. Fortunately, Melisa survived and soon was discharged from the hospital. Living with this horrific condition meant that Melisa would be tied to hospitals for the rest of her life. There was only one permanent solution – a heart transplant.


Although doctors, concerned with Melisa's state of health, first recommended delaying the operation to avoid possible complications, Melisa has recently got an infection, meaning her heart transplant surgery needs to take place as soon as possible.


Born out of hope and a genuine belief in people's kindness, 'Art to Heart' is an artistic cry for help and a glorious tribute to altruism. It's less of an ordinary exhibition or an auction and more of an immersive experience that invites you on a journey of empathy and creativity to the depths of Melisa's heart.


The auction will consist of two parts: Fine Art and Contemporary. You can participate in the auction both online at bidspirit.com and in person at Cube.Moscow at The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow.

Ivan Razumov was born in 1972 in Moscow. He grew up in a family associated with art: his grandfather was the famous Soviet graphic artist Fyodor Konstantinov, and his uncle was production designer Vladimir Lykov. Razumov studied at the theater and scenery faculties: in 1987-1991 - at the Art School in memory of 1905, since 1991 - at the Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov.

He began as a graphic artist, formed under the influence of the classical Soviet school of graphics of the 1930s. In 1997, he began to engage in printed illustrations for periodicals and books (works by M. Basho, V.V. Mayakovsky, A.S. Pushkin, V. A. Shenderovich and others). He transferred the techniques of graphics and book illustration to painting - hence the specific construction of the composition, surrealistic displacement of scales, bright color. In 1995-2002. entered the St. Petersburg art circles, collaborated with Timur Novikov, Sergei Bugaev-Africa, Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe, created covers and illustrated articles for the psychoanalytic magazine "Cabinet" Viktor Mazin. In the 2000s, having returned to Moscow, he created several graphic projects together with Pavel Pepperstein.

The main leitmotifs of creativity are the clash, conflict and eroticization of images of Soviet, new-Russian and Western European cultures (pioneers, Lenin, Marx, the Kremlin, etc.). The plots are based on allusions to cinematic and literary episodes, psychoanalytic theories, political and social events, myths of popular culture. The artistic world of Razumov is grotesque, sarcastic and at the same time nostalgic and a little sad. Works in the collection of the Center Pompidou in Paris, as well as in private collections in Russia and abroad.
