Agatha 100.1
This NFT is based on a sculpture "Agatha", made by Gregory Orekhov. "Agatha" was included in the collection of the State Russian Museum, was exhibited in the Saatchi gallery in London and on the Red Square in Moscow.
"Agatha" - stainless steel tumbler sculpture with a mirror-polished surface. The tumbler reflects everything except itself, it does not have its own essence, thanks to the design features that allow the sculpture to be deflected from the vertical, the theme of instability comes to the fore. Agatha can be viewed as a somewhat paradoxical refraction of "Worker and Collective Farm Woman": Mukhin’s impulse into the future turns into Orekhov's balance in the present

Gregory Orekhov was born in Moscow into the family of an outstanding russian sculptor and academician, Yuri Orekhov. From an early age, Orekhov studied in his father’s workshop, mastering various sculpture techniques and materials. He later continued his studies at the Ilya Glazunov Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.
At the age of 25, after the untimely death of his father, Orekhov began to engage with administrative work at the Russian Academy of Arts, heading the “Sculptor” Foundation, created by his late father.
In 2004, Orekhov founded the “The Creative Heritage of Academician Yuri Orekhov” museum, where he showcased a collection of the artist's works, tools and photographs from the archives.
In 2012, Orekhov returned to art full-time and began working in the direction of post-minimalism.
He is true to his language: pure form + a metaphorical image. One of his central works entitled “Agatha” is named after his daughter, whose birth served as an impetus for the creation of this work and his artistic and life path in general.
Orekhov is a returning participant of the Cosmoscow International Contemporary Art Fair. Moreover, he participated with his project “Salvation” as part of the parallel program of the Venice Biennale. In 2020, Orekhov created the first large-scale modern sculpture in Russia created in memory of Kazimir Malevich in the park of the same name. He participated in solo and group exhibitions in Russia and abroad. Orekho
