Anton Kushaev

“TO MY MIND, ART IS WHAT DISTURBS THE HARMONY. THERE’S A RADICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CULTURE AND ART. CULTURE IS ANTI-NATURE, HUMANS CONSTRUCT AN EXOSKELETON AROUD THEMSELVES. ART, IN CONTRAST, IS TRANSGRESSIVE – IT BREAKS THE BORDERS.”

Anton Kushaev graduated from the Moscow School of Applied Arts and from Icon painting school at the Moscow Theological Academy, the artist also studied in the “Baza” Institute in Moscow. His artistic search focuses on the study of the modern environment, though not real, but digital. Anton doesn’t use images of humans in his art, creating mainly abstract still-lives mixing diverse cultural references and symbols.
