Eurus Gallery's new exhibition is dedicated to movement, metamorphosis, and transformation. Dickson Yewn's butterflies flap their wings thanks to miniature springs, Olga Tobreluts' lenticular prints change depending on the angle of view, and Epic Jewellery's mechanical objects open, close, and spin with the breeze symbolizing vitality and energy. The Circle of Life by Epic and Ilya Fedotov-Fedorov may seem static, but it is not - apart from the fact that the new object The Golden Beetle is a transformer (it turns from a ring into a necklace), the very theme of the work is metamorphosis and the incessant flow of life in nature. The mechanics are used by Alexander Laut to animate his Lucky Koi fish. The Bubbles of Happiness earrings are also full of movement. It is a moment of happiness - when bubbles rise in a newly filled champagne glass. Ilgiz Fazulzyanov, a brilliant enameler strives to capture the precious moment of the opening of a flower bud or emergence of a sprout from the ground. The Chinese artist Richard Wu uses a similar artistic method when he creates the Thryptomene brooch.

The design is not a copy from the blossoming Thryptomene, it’s the capturing of the moment when it's nearly weathered. Richard Wu says: “wabi-sabi is my philosophy of how i see life. (remember this quote: "when the last leaf is about to fall off from the tree in autumn, and just at that very moment, it's Wabi-Sabi”). I try to catch that split second because that moment of life and death is precious. Just like our life is just a sudden short time of our forever death. This shining second is so fascinating and worth memorizing forever”.

In the context of The Art of Movement theme with Haute horlogerie artworks from Konstantin Chaykin, you get a funny play on words. What this engineering genius does is really the art of movement. A new medium at the exhibition, which Eurus Gallery is working with for the first time, is photography. These include Alexander Greenberg's “Art of Movement” series from the 1920s and contemporary photography by Eugene Mironov.

Stay still. Admire the movement.
