2012: From the Gavel to the Gallery: Russian Art in London “This week in London, Russian art has been centre stage: a week of activity in the auction rooms (Christie’s, Sotheby’s and MacDougall’s all had sales of Russian art, each with varying levels of success) is accompanied by a major exhibition at Saatchi of post-Soviet art, and several smaller shows including Russian artist Philip Firsov at Twenty-Two to Twenty-Six Gallery” http://www.cawdelldouglas.com/

2012: Beyond the froth and jargon: “But the reign of theory is not inevitable. The best response is what Cyril Connolly called “the resonance of seclusion”. Hundreds of artists still battle alone in studios to make authentic work that does not need a curator to explain it. Where are they? Collectors, commentators, art lovers, must venture judgement and independent taste to find them. From younger generations, examples of some of this year’s thoughtful, refreshing exhibitions, with affordable prices, are …Russian narrative painter/sculptor Philip Firsov at Twenty Two to Twenty Six Gallery”.

2012: Philip Firsov and Phoebe Cope. TwentyTwo to TwentySix. London.: “Russian born Philip Firsov is an inventive painter and sculptor who is able to transform art-historical sources — ranging from constructivism to Velazquez — into narratives of his own making referencing just as vividly today’s jumbled information overload; his latest work “The Couple”, theatrical, lavish in detail and execution, points to a new assurance.” Jackie Wullschlager.
