Dobrynya Ivanov
Born in 1987. Lives and works in Kyiv. Studied in Oleksandr Babak's studio.
Works predominantly in the installation genre, the artist is continiously looking for the self-identification paths - artistic and existential. Dobrynya creates an almost sexual opposition of textures and surfaces in his subtle and amazingly personal series "Touch".
His work "Exposable People" reveals author's different side - homo socialis.
"Still Life" is composed of boxes filled with junk - "portraits of generation" supposedly sketched from the actual or imaginary friends and acquaintances, - is Dobrynya's social projection.
