Artist talk: Ivan Plusch

The Saatchi Gallery and the Hermitage Foundation UK announce the fourth in their series of talks by Russian artists, which will be given by Ivan Plusch.

Ivan Plusch, born in 1981, is a Russian conceptual artist on the rise and is part of the Nepokorionnye Group. He is based in St. Petersburg and has studied in various art schools including the State Academy of Art and Design, the Roerich Art School and the PRO ARTE Institute. Ivan Plusch’s work has been exhibited throughout Russia and worldwide including in France, Italy, the Netherlands, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the Balkans. His work is in prestigious private and public collections world-wide.

He works with the topic of time. The flowing of the paint in his works is connected with the illusion of the material world which seems to be precise and clear but can be seen only as a foggy understanding of our senses. It is the opportunity for the artist to speak about processes which are hidden behind the visible world – the human memory, childhood, and the flowing of life from one point to another.
