Andrey Chezhin

Contemporary St. Petersburg-based artist, photographer, and sculptor Andrey Chezhin was born in 1960 in Leningrad. In 1982, graduating from the Leningrad Institute of Cinema Engineers, he simultaneously took up photography.

Chezhin’s oeuvre is full of postmodern tropes, including allusions, quotes, and illogical juxtapositions. The artist often works in large series, exploring a certain theme to the fullest. Chezhin is the Director of PHOTOimage Gallery and Drawing Pin Museum, a private contemporary art institution.
