London Art Fair 2026: MILADO Art Gallery presents “Following the Thread” and new works from Atlas series

For the 2026 edition of the London Art Fair, MILADO Art Gallery presents Following the Thread, a group exhibition featuring five female artists: Deborah Azzopardi, Shahnaz Aghayeva, Marina Altukhova, Tamara Jovandić-Everson, and Olga Prinku, whose practices span diverse mediums, geographies, and generations. 

United by the threads that intersect history and myth, introspective explorations of the self, collaborations with nature, and the complexities of intergenerational relationships, these artists form an ensemble of distinct yet resonant voices. Following the Thread

invites viewers to consider the unfolding narratives within the exhibition and to trace connections across a journey of unexpected turns, shifting paths, and tightly woven knots.

For the solo presentation at the Platform section of the London Art Fair 2026, curated by an art historian and author Dr Ferren Gipson, Gleb Skubachevsky presents Atlas series. It emerged in 2025 following reports and scientific discussions surrounding an interstellar object detected by the ATLAS survey. The event sparked widespread cultural and scientific speculation, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty and the unknown that captured the artist’s imagination. Skubachevsky reflects on rare cosmic alignments and fleeting astronomical phenomena, employing them as metaphors for humanity’s enduring search for life beyond Earth and the limits of human perception. In his works, Skubachevsky challenges spatial perception through meticulously constructed three-dimensional compositions.
For more than a decade, Skubachevsky has explored living forms that exist between the scientific paradigm and imagination. In Atlas series the artist continues his renowned mixed-media technique, developed in 2015, combining paper, glue, and acrylic on canvas. 

Texture and colour are applied first, followed by paper elements that generate waves of dynamic movement, echoing living organisms. This paper-centric approach reinforces the project’s conceptual tension between fragility and strength, the minuscule and the vast, offering an introspective reflection on humanity’s place within the universe. Here, in Atlas series, reality and imagination intertwine, becoming equally significant and expansive.
