Ivan Korshunov

Born in Moscow in 1983, Ivan graduated from the Vasily Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute.

Ivan Korshunov belongs to a new generation of talents who come to grips with the contemporary experience by resorting to the language of figurative art and adopting traditional painting techniques. His creative practice represents a turn to the manner and methods of the old masters, to Bible narratives, and to denser layers of artistic time. The artist explores human relations, popular culture, and vices and woes of the contemporary society, zooming in on the all-pervasive spoofing of meanings and images in the modern information-driven world.
