Recently, it has spread on all social networks that for the first time in Europe art therapy was promoted at the state level: in Brussels, doctors began to write mass prescriptions in museums for patients with increased stress, mental health disorders or depression.
In Canada, art therapy has been used since 2018: since then, scientists have proven that the effect of art and creative stimulation is beneficial not only for the soul, but also for mental health.
Moscow restaurants seem to have decided to use this method: art combined with good food can cheer guests up.
Well, how do you forget about social networks – now you can take not only photos of food in a restaurant, but also selfies against the backdrop of modern art, or just thoughtfully upload photos of paintings and sculptures.
The Fashion Vibes researched the topic and gathered the most relevant art collaborations of the capital’s institutions. To be both delicious and beautiful. Write the addresses!
Chrome Rise Up and KUTOBOY
The neon chrome room Chrome just got brighter for a month: it hosted the exhibition “Syndrome of Tropical Conditions” by artist and illustrator Ilya Kutoboy (Kutoboy). Tropical elements from the artist’s works are also integrated into the interior of the gastrobar. For example, Ilya painted a mirror surface in the bar area. Here you can also see one of his most famous paintings, The Dream of a Centaur. It is best to study the works under the Kutoboy cocktail, which the artist created in collaboration with the head bartender Vladimir Krichev. It is based on rum infused with pink cactus and is given tropical notes by citrus and spices.
Address: Sretensky Boulevard, 1/4
Rudi Italian bistro and Vzor gallery
Italian bistro Rudi launched a seasonal menu at the end of September, created in collaboration with the pop-up gallery Vzor, which supports young artists. Both the new positions and the paintings of the artist Anastasia Gudkova, which are now hanging on the walls of the bistro, can be called bright, juicy and expressive. The menu is avant-garde, in a variation of the cacciatore theme – seared duck with bush and parmesan, lush brioche with cod liver and anchovies, unusual toast with mussels, juicy tomatoes and parmesan, gnocchi with morel and anchovy puree with lamb shank. Well you have to come and see for yourself to tell how much the food is related to the paintings on display!

Geraldine and Pushkin Museum im. ASPECT. Pushkin
In honor of the exhibition “Brother Ivan. Michel Evan, the chef of the neo-bistro Geraldine, has created two new desserts and two new cocktails together with the team “Mikhail and Ivan Morozov Collections” at the Pushkin Museum. Dessert No. 1 is dedicated to the painting “Portrait of Actress Jeanne Samary” by Renoir – it has the same pastel range with bright color accents. Dessert No. 2 – homage to the work “Peach and Pear” by Paul Cezanne. The oval shapes on Cezanne’s canvas reflect the concise form of the dessert – clafoutis with pear and almond leaves.
The #1 rum-based cocktail was inspired by Henri Edmond Cross’ painting “Around My Home”. And cocktail number 2 based on Calvados, maraschino and French walnut aperitif – Paul Gauguin’s painting “Cafe in Arles”. So before October 30th, go to the exhibition first, then try the gastronomic artworks!

Gigi and Stanislavsky Electrotheatre
Gigi restaurant offers a “taste” of the performance of “Pinocchio”, which received the “Golden Mask” in 2021. In the restaurant, it “turned” into a magic cocktail, both in terms of filling and service. Aged brandy, notes of currant twig, leaves and pulp and a light pineapple flavor – all this “shine” from a block of ice in a glass. It is better to talk about the meanings after the screening of the movie trio “Mad Angel Pinocchio”, created by Boris Yukhananov based on the play “Pinocchio” and premiered on October 15 at the Electrotheatre.
