Sergey Kalinin’s "Gladiators"

Secretive, unpredictable and sophisticated – the so-called “Partisan Museum” has opened its doors in the Russian capital featuring the major art exhibition, “The Gladiators”.
Rule number one: Don’t forget to find out the museum’s current address.

The setting is key for the Partisan Museum, as the “gypsy” art project could help in looking at art from a different, untraditional perspective.
The recently shut-down “Metropol” casino will host the very first exhibition of the Partisan Museum – “The Gladiators” – until December 6.
Sergey Kalinin’s monumental oil paintings featuring “fights without rules” are rich in emotion and realistic detail.
And it looks like the setting of the Partisan Museum and the unsentimental paintings are well matched.
