Exhibition Konstantin Latyshev "Acrylics" Automatic translate

Vera Pogodina’s gallery “VP Studio” presents a series of 20 new works by Konstantin Latyshev “Acrylics”.

In anticipation of the exhibition, gallery owner Vera Pogodina said: “Acrylics” by Konstantin Latyshev continue their favorite theme of comic posters that resemble a small anecdote. You can tell it, or you can just watch it. The name of the project refers us to the technique in which the work is created. This material is also comic, eternal, light. And therefore, the exhibition so easily combines poster works: “Moscow is a resort city”, as well as the paraphrase of Alexander Rodchenko’s famous poster, “Lengiz: books on all branches of knowledge”, where instead of the original text Latyshev entered the phrase: “I want sex”.

Latyshev Konstantin Eduardovich was born in 1966 in Moscow. In the early eighties, he began working in the ironic direction of pop art, imitating the style of comics, which gave reason to compare it with Roy Lichtenstein. At the end of the decade, he joined the action group “World Champions”, whose artistic gestures were always thought out with meticulous care. In the early 2000s, Latyshev began to create “paintings for consideration”, in which textile patterns are organized in the manner of primitivistic graffiti. He studied at the Moscow Art College and Moscow Pedagogical Institute (1982-1986). Since 1986, a member of the group "World Champions", since 1995 the founder and member of the group "Artcontrol". Member of numerous exhibitions in Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan, Finland, France, USA.
