Auction 2 ART FOR HEART
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.

Exantres; Untitled, 2020; 100x70; Paper, gouache, pencil, pastel
As a practicing stylist, Exantres is well aware of what is judged by dress. You need to amaze at first sight, effectively enter the room or frame. But the artist in it says that an unambiguously provocative picture detains attention too shortly. It is immediately thrown aside, obscured by thousands of the same bright, original, spectacular images, replacing each other without stopping. Notes of calmness, cold shades, thoughtfulness, reticence, mysteriousness - all this allows you to catch the viewer's eye and keep it. And only after that you can start to really work with the viewer, tell him a story. This is the Exantres graphics. Drawings, according to the artist herself, convey her inner feelings: “Therefore, most often in my works, girls are depicted. I like the lines of the female body, its fragility and the strength that is behind it all. "
