Dmitry Shorin

Dmitry was born in 1971 in Novosibirsk. Starting his education at the School of Visual and Graphic Arts of the Maxim Gorky Pedagogical Institute in Omsk and, one year later, transferring to the Omsk Domestic Services Academy to major in Garment Design, he ultimately finished his studies in Leningrad. The artist currently lives and works in Moscow.

In his creative practice, Dmitry Shorin managed to discover a distinctive subject that he spent many years exploring. Central to his oeuvre is the slightly exaggerated and yet alluring vision of the ‘it-girl’ inspired by commercials and popular cinema. Four of Dmitry Shorin’s sculptures are permanently exhibited in the Pulkovo International Airport along with the Airfield panel created by him jointly with the Russian musician Sergey Shnurov.
