It was a very full moon on a Friday night in London. There was a certain something special in the air that comes with such nights, but on this night, October 26th the was something more. Tucked away in side street off the famous Brick Lane in the east of London, Strychnin Gallery had opened its doors to it's London presence.
To celebrate this special event, Strychnin put on display many of the artists they represent. Not to be left out of the party many of said artists flew in from the United States.
The gallery proved popular as ever with patrons. Later into the evening the sizable crowd was spilling onto the lane with a feverish hubbub of energy and discussion. Guests would have been very happy to stay on and party to the wee hours of the night, but a weary although very happy Strychnin team had to send people on their way and close their doors before midnight
and be ready again for their first open day.
Strychnin's new London gallery is located in the famous Brick Lane district, a hub of alternative culture. The same area has a more nefarious history as the haunt of the Jack the Ripper. This has not stopped the multitudes that flock to the area for the weekend markets or one of the 70 plus curry houses that jostle with each other.
The gallery is well placed to participate and contribute to this vibrant and historical corner of London.
Strychnin's London adress is:
Strychnin Gallery London
65 Hanbury Street
London E1 5JP

Rinat Gazizov's first major work was for Lennauch film studio in 1988, when he and Konstantin Bronzit directed the animated short "Very Small Tragedies". In 1991 he directed "Midnight Games" for Pilot studio in Moscow. This short is about the strange goings on at night when we are all asleep, but when we wake everything is as it should be…Or is it?
In 1992, still working for Pilot studio, he directed "Introduction" (right) another spectacular short full of oddities. In this animation strange creatures undergo metamorphosis as one scene blends into the next.
Gazizov (b. 1962 in Kirov, Russia) has created more than 25 short films, 20 animated music videos, more than 60 advertisements and has illustrated 14 books for children. He has recieved the prestigious "NIKA" prize from the Academy of Cinematic Arts of Russia, and the "OVATION" for his music videos.
In 1981 Ivan Maximov began work as an illustrator for a number of Russian newspapers and magazines, before he decided to take courses in film direction and screenplay (1986 - 1988) which led to his first major animated work "FRU - 89 From Left to Right". His unique style of animation led to high acclaim and many prizes for the shorts that followed, "5/4", Libido of Benjamino", "Wind Along the Coast" etc.
Although Maximov is best known for his animation shorts he has also been involved in many animated advertisement campaigns, music clips, and has even helped to develop a video game based on his animation called "Full Pipe". Since 2002 he has been teaching future animators at the School - Studio Shar and VGIK.
