“Two Skies” is the result of a collaborative project by artists Dmitry Shorin and Andrey Dvin.
Inspired by the themes of symmetry and reflection, they created a series of diptychs in which the sky becomes a pure form, stripped of its familiar boundaries.
The paintings were made in the summer of 2023 during an art residency at Gridchinhall, where the artists shared a studio. Each work consists of two parts: one half painted in acrylic by Andrey Dvin, the other in oil by Dmitry Shorin. Their stylistically distinct yet compositionally symmetrical images create the illusion of a mirror reflection—one that is not a perfect copy, but a poetic variation.
The Two Skies series is an artistic experiment that merges two individual painting styles into a single, unified statement. It is a dialogue not only between the artists, but also between the viewer and infinity.
