Igor Mikhailenko
about the artist
The artist was born in 1969 in Krasnodar, and still lives and works in his native city. In 1988, he graduated from the Krasnodar Art College.
One of the most important and influential figures in Krasnodar’s contemporary art scene, Igor Mikhailenko addresses the issues of existential loneliness, struggle, alienation, depersonalisation, despair, and self-discovery. His creative method combines the intuitive principle with ‘mathematical’ consistency of the composition: apparently, the artist is in full control of his work, without dissolving in it or giving in to the temptations of painterly texture.The visual language of his paintings is somewhat evocative of Pop Art.
