Code & Canvas Merges Art and Algorithm in Tribeca Exhibition

May 16th, 2025 – The quiet hum of Tribeca’s art scene found a pulse in Code & Canvas, a hybrid exhibition that paired classical surrealism with digital innovation. On view through May 15, 2025, at Salomon Arts Gallery, the exhibition marked a compelling collaboration between acclaimed artist Artem Mirolevich and digital innovator Dmitry Trekhsvyatsky. At its core, the project questioned—and reimagined—the evolving conversation between analog craft and coded expression.

Unfolding across a curated selection of paintings, mixed media works, and digital integrations, Code & Canvas framed the future of contemporary art through a lens that was at once speculative and precise. The exhibition was accessible by appointment only, adding an element of exclusivity and intimacy to an experience already dense with detail and layered symbolism.

Artem Mirolevich, the Belarusian-born artist now based in New York, is no stranger to transforming imagined worlds into intricately etched realities. His compositions—rich in classical technique but bound by no conventional rules—pull influence from Dürer and Dalí, manga and mythology. The works in this series echoed those familiar signatures while venturing deeper into questions of digitization, artificial intelligence, and ecological tension. The presence of Dmitry Trekhsvyatsky’s digital augmentation added a responsive, interactive dimension—where algorithms met aesthetics, and code became collaborator rather than constraint.

Together, the duo reframed the canvas as more than a medium. It became a portal: sometimes static, sometimes alive, always reflective of the increasingly porous boundary between physical and digital realms.

The show opened with a private reception that brought together a cross-section of New York’s creative circles. Artist Artem Mirolevich and gallery owner Rodrigo Salomon welcomed guests including Gigi Salomon, nightlife icon Carmen D’Alessio, and Tina Radziwill. Pop Up Events NYC curated the culinary offerings, while Aphrodise provided the libations. The tone was both celebratory and curious—a fitting match for an exhibition built on dualities.

While the artworks were the focus, the evening also spotlighted the role of New York as a living gallery of its own—where technology, art, and dialogue are not siloed disciplines but ingredients in an ever-evolving cultural recipe.

Mirolevich’s exhibition history spans continents—England, France, Italy, Qatar, Japan—but Code & Canvas was distinctly rooted in New York’s Tribeca, a neighborhood where conceptual rigor often meets architectural nostalgia. For Mirolevich, whose work frequently weaves commentary on climate change, consumerism, and utopian collapse, the choice of venue offered a fitting juxtaposition: old-world craftsmanship showcased in one of the city’s increasingly digitized enclaves.

His larger body of work—available through artemart.com and artemirogallery.com—continues to expand the dialogue between ancient disciplines and contemporary concerns. But in Code & Canvas, that conversation became an invitation to stand still and scroll less, to look again—perhaps even to listen.
