22-28 June 2026
54 The Gallery
54 Shepherd Market, London W1J 7QZ
10am – 7pm
This June, Peace & Colour Gallery is delighted to present SUMMER KALEIDOSCOPE, a mixed collection exhibition bringing together established names, developing talents, and newly represented artists.
Taking place in the heart of Mayfair, the exhibition celebrates colour, imagination, cultural memory, and the many ways artists transform lived experience into visual form. Across painting, photography, mixed media, abstraction, figuration, and narrative composition, Summer Kaleidoscope offers a wide-ranging encounter with contemporary artistic expression.
The exhibition gathers artists from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Korea, Sweden, France, the United Kingdom and beyond, creating a layered dialogue between tradition and experimentation, intimacy and spectacle, heritage, and reinvention.
Peace & Colour Gallery is especially pleased to champion a remarkable group of women artists within this exhibition, alongside long-standing gallery artists, and new creative voices. Together, their works form a rich and multifaceted portrait of London’s artistic landscape.
The Artists will be present!

About artists
Serhiy Savchenko
Born in Lviv, Ukraine, Serhiy Savchenko is known for his powerful and instinctive paintings, which move between abstraction, expressionism, contemporary impressionism, and conceptual art. His canvases are full of rhythm, texture, and physical energy, often carrying the pulse of music and movement. Internationally recognised, Savchenko creates compositions that feel immediate, unrestrained, and deeply alive.

Igor Tcholaria
Igor Tcholaria, born in Abkhazia, is celebrated for his theatrical and highly imaginative paintings, where carnival, nostalgia and fantasy are brought into vivid collision. Influenced by circus culture, Cubism, Soviet avant-garde, French Impressionism and Dutch painting, he has developed a visual language that is unmistakably his own. Collected internationally, Tcholaria’s art transforms spectacle into a deeper reflection on memory, longing, and the human condition.

Vlada Krassilnikova
Vlada Krassilnikova is a French-Russian photographer working between fine art and photojournalism. After ten years as a solo dancer at the Moulin Rouge, she turned her eye to the hidden world behind the stage, capturing the performers, rituals and private moments surrounding performance. Her photography is shaped by transformation, intimacy, theatricality and the subtle tension between identity and image.

Ilona Gonsovska
Ilona Gonsovska was a Russian-born scenographer, painter, and environmental advocate whose art is marked by delicacy, mystery, and poetic restraint. A graduate of the Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute, she designed more than thirty theatre productions across Russia and Europe before developing her distinctive painterly world. Her luminous images of birds, ice, flora, and spectral landscapes remain meditations on nature, fragility, and human presence.

Larissa Stenlander
Larissa Stenlander is a Russian-Swedish artist known for her finely observed watercolours, where humour, melancholy and quiet symbolism meet. Her recurring alter ego, a sympathetic middle-aged woman, becomes a gentle vehicle for themes of solitude, desire, vulnerability, and resilience. With sparse compositions and subtle wit, Stenlander turns everyday objects and gestures into reflections on the human experience.

Timur Akhmedov
Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Timur Akhmedov brings together European painterly traditions, Central Asian heritage, and Eastern philosophy. His art draws on Uzbek textiles, ceremonial objects, ritual forms, and sacred imagery, creating compositions rich in atmosphere and cultural reference. Through colour, surface and form, Akhmedov builds a space between the earthly and the spiritual, where stillness and movement coexist.

Elena Svets
Elena Svets was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and came to painting after a life shaped by fashion, travel, poetry, and a deeply creative family background, as well as attending a design college in Moscow. Her art is intuitive, bold, and luminous, often completed with remarkable speed and intensity. The works presented in Summer Kaleidoscope, inspired by Sikh warriors and the blue tones of Morocco, speak of protection, dignity, compassion, and spiritual strength.

Svetlana Kornilova
London-based Svetlana Kornilova creates figurative paintings that examine childhood, memory, and the psychological tensions of contemporary life. Trained at the Moscow State Stroganov Academy and the Repin Institute in St Petersburg, she combines academic precision and impeccable technique, with a distinctly modern sensibility. Her paintings are quietly unsettling, intimate, and reflective, encouraging close attention rather than instant interpretation.

Anna Shevtsova
Anna Shevtsova is an artist based between London and Miami, working through painting and drawing to develop a language of colour, figure, landscape, and atmosphere. Raised in Russia and now studying Fine Art Drawing at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, she moves between observation and imagination. Her paintings transform familiar subjects into saturated, expressive scenes charged with mood and personal response.

Galina Agerd
London-based Galina Agerd creates meditative mixed media compositions centred on stillness, transformation and inner awareness. Born in Kazakhstan into a creative family, she developed her distinctive Flow method through poured paint, layered materials and semi-precious stones. Her radiant surfaces and dreamlike forms offer a contemplative space, encouraging viewers to reconnect with silence, intuition and a deeper sense of self.

Natasha Ivanickaya
Natasha Ivanickaya is a contemporary mixed media artist originally from Belarus, whose layered compositions are shaped by memory, solitude, light, and shadow. Her art draws on personal experience, observation, design, animals, and atmosphere, creating worlds that feel both intimate and enigmatic. In The Shadow, a feline figure appears within a vivid architectural space, suggesting presence, protection, and the hidden aspects of the self.

Yana Rusnak
Ukrainian artist Yana Rusnak works across painting, photography, sculptural texture, and mixed media, creating layered compositions that move between abstraction and figuration. Her visual language is rooted in transformation, memory, mythology, and the relationship between the human and natural worlds. The diptych presented in this exhibition, featuring horses formed from antique maps and celestial imagery, becomes a poetic reflection on travel, history, identity, and spiritual navigation.

Siena Park
Siena Park is a London-based Korean artist who reimagines the language of Korean folk painting through a contemporary lens. Working across painting, installation, and embedded light, she addresses power, tradition, beauty, and the tensions carried within inherited cultural symbols. Her work Divine Distortion uses fantasy, folklore, and dislocation to create a vivid scene of passage, uncertainty, and collective movement.

Larisa Belima
Larisa Belima is a painter and graphic artist whose art is recognised for its expressive colour, theatrical structure, and dreamlike atmosphere. Her compositions often move between abstraction and figuration, forming poetic worlds where memory, fantasy and feeling appear to unfold at once. The painting presented in Summer Kaleidoscope is an unusual figurative example within her wider body of work, combining dignity, symbolism, and rich painterly drama.

Lucy Dickens
British artist Lucy Dickens creates paintings that move between social observation, imagined scenes and more contemplative moments. The great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, she brings a strong narrative instinct to her art, shaped by earlier work in fashion styling, illustration, and children’s publishing. Her painting The Gentlemen captures a rain-softened encounter of formality, secrecy, and old-world ceremony, full of atmosphere and untold story.

Karen Stepanyants
Karen Stepanyants is a Moscow-born artist, graphic designer, educator, and musician whose art combines precision, wit and invention. Trained first as a cellist before turning to art and design, he brings a distinctive sense of rhythm and structure to his visual compositions. In The Animal Alphabet, he creates a playful universe of hybrid creatures, signs, and imagined systems, where language becomes an act of discovery.
