The same year saw his first personal exhibition in Moscow: it was held at the international gallery Malaya Gruzinskaya, 28.

Dogadin Art Gallery in Astrakhan, the All-Russian Museum of Decorative and Applied Arts, The Portrait Museum, collections of the Henkel company, Oleg Tabakov Theatre Studio and private collections.
Vyacheslav Novitchkov’s works are so diverse in time, style and mental outlook can hardly be limited to some certain trend in art. These are ironic remakes series Playing Malevich, refined Chalice with eternal bible motives, symbolic graphic works People-Faces, and many others…
Lots of his works have no explicit meaning and do not expose themselves directly, but initiate dialogue with the viewer.
Decorative color system, rhythmic and ornamental images, philosophical approach and continuous search of one’s own meanings stand out and make the individual style of Vyacheslav Novitchkov.
