Andrey Popov

Andrey was born in 1970 in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR. In 1992, he graduated from the Mozhaysky Military Space Engineering Institute, and in 1997, became a professional cartoon artist, spending 10 years as a contributing illustrator for Delovoy Peterburg newspaper. He currently lives and works in Israel.

Andrey Popov belongs to the new generation of satirists: it is hard to pinpoint his artworks as cartoons per se. The artist has staked out a genre of his own – a visual parable containing an element of absurd drollery or grotesqueness. Popov seems to observe the reality through a microscope and a telescope at once: scrutinising its minute details, he nevertheless manages to see and capture the entire picture.
