Maximau Artemiy

A contemporary St. Petersburg sculptor.

Graduated from the Minsk State Professional Technical College of Decorative and Applied Arts named after Kedyshko in the field of "Decorative and Applied Arts, Ceramics" and the "Ceramic Products" department of the Belarusian State Academy of Arts. Artyom develops a line of creativity that balances on the edge of Western philosophy and ancient Eastern artistic practices, between Viennese Actionism, Buddhist art of Khara-Khoto, and Ai Weiwei's installations. The artist reflects on the state of society with its anxiety about socio-economic storms, with its fear of isolation, with its control and targeting systems that make one live with the sensation of being watched from behind.
