Kokacheva Alexandra

A young talented graphic artist from St. Petersburg who happened to find himself in the creative environment of contemporary authors and curators from St. Petersburg.

The Sever-7 group and artist Leonid Tse, studies at the PRO ARTE Foundation and curator Katya Bochavar, the Tavrida art forum with shifts from the British Higher School of Design — all of this gave the artist an understanding of contemporary artistic processes and inspired her to search for her own themes and means of expression.

Today, Alexandra's work is quite broad and includes audio-visual installations, experiments with print graphics, and traditional painting. Her innate gift for compositional thinking allows her to capture seemingly ordinary urban landscape scenes, while at the same time revealing strangeness and deviations from the usual environment.

The deserted urban spaces in Alexandra's works always bear traces of human presence and the routes taken. "I am interested in the themes of civilization, of being civilized, how a person and their presence leave a mark in a particular place, and how these places change over time..." (A. Kokacheva).
