Random Black, Lisbon

group exhibition curated by Tomaz Hipólito

Group show “Random Black” at Galeria Santa Maria Maior, Lisbon.

Alex Kuznetsov is participating in Random Black, a group exhibition curated by Tomaz Hipólito and presented by AZAN Contemporary Art at Galeria Santa Maria Maior, Lisbon. The project gathers fifty artists, including Pedro Cabrita Reis, Jorge Queiroz, Miguel Palma, Cristina Ataíde, Irit Batsry, Jeff Perkins, and Nuno Sousa Vieira — each presenting a single black work as part of a collective reflection on intensity, reduction, and the potential of one color.

For the exhibition, Kuznetsov contributes a 130 × 130 cm oil painting — a dense black square built up through thick, layered application. Continuing his process-based abstraction, the work resists quick readability and insists on duration, where black is not emptiness but matter, structure, and depth.

Exhibition dates: September 11 – October 3, 2025
Location: Galeria Santa Maria Maior, Rua da Madalena 147, Lisbon
