Prokofiev Studio in London Unveils Oleg Prokofiev's Hidden Artworks After Decades
The Prokofiev Studio in Hackney, London, has opened its doors to showcase a collection of abstract works by Russian artist Oleg Prokofiev, which were hidden for over a decade. These artworks, along with sculptures, sketchbooks, and personal items, are being displayed for the first time. Prokofiev, who was the son of renowned composer Sergei Prokofiev, hid his works during the mid-1950s due to the Soviet Union's ban on abstract art and his personal circumstances involving a British partner. The studio, founded by Prokofiev's children and curator Anzhela Popova, aims to revive his legacy and support contemporary artists across various disciplines. The inaugural exhibition, 'Bending Time,' features Prokofiev's works alongside those of other artists, highlighting the cross-disciplinary energy the studio seeks to foster.
