Vladimir Chernyshev

Vladimir Chernyshev focuses on working with the endangered cultural landscape, creating large-scale site-specific installations that do not have final versions and change under the influence of the environment. His studio practice revolves around thoroughly executed series of etchings and drawings referring to several barely readable mythologemes: arch, stars, shadow, rainbow, butterfly and flame.
