about the artist

Dmitry Gutov was born in Moscow in 1960 and graduated from the School of Art Theory and History of the Repin Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in St. Petersburg. The artist currently lives and works in Moscow.

In his capacity of art critic and historian Dmitry Gutov authored countless articles on art theory and the works of the great masters of the past, in addition to lecturing. As an artist, he works across media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, installation and video art. Putting to use his fundamental knowledge of art history, calligraphy, and literature, Gutov actively employs in his artistic practice various visual references. Appropriating instantly recognisable imagery from classical artworks, Russian icon painting, and Eastern calligraphy, he reimagines it in large-scale spatial installations, paintings, drawings, and metal sculptures.
