Veronika Ivashkevich

Veronika Ivashkevich was born in 1992 in Minsk. After graduating in 2012 from the Minsk Art College, Veronika enrolled in the Painting and Restoration Department at the St. Petersburg State Art and Industry Academy named after A. L. Stiglitz.

Veronica works in the genres of easel and print graphics, as well as art photography, in both media creating border interior spaces for a detached viewer, revealing the ontological complexity of the simplest objects.

Trying to overcome the direct narrativity and readable conceptualization of images, the artist works in a "transit zone" (by the way, that was the name of her recent solo exhibition at "Cube" in Moscow) – some strange intuitive space populated by semi-random images, simple things vaguely referring to pop culture or personal visual revelations. Attempting to capture them becomes destructive, whereas deliberate watercolor "bugs" – smudges, blurred outlines or blots – on the contrary turn out to be elusive portals into a world of apparent recognition, knowledge, meaning or absurdity.

Works by Veronika Ivashkevich are held in private collections in Belarus, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Russia, the USA, and France.
