Aristarkh Chernyshev uses contemporary technology to rethink the figurative sculpture and explore our relationship to the digital. In a new set of works currently at Ekaterina Cultural Foundation, the artist offers his latest examples of this. In the group exhibition “Breakthrough,” the artist’s work, “Critical Update,” “is focused on an ‘undownloadable’ self-portrait made with the author’s own technique for texturing 3D objects,” the group says. The foundation exhibition supports palliative care and new medical technology.
Chernyshev’s previous works is also better shown in video form than stills. He often toys with what some would expect to be disconnected from the technological, such as a domesticated animal or religious experiences, and brings them into his LED-filled practice. See more of those older works below.
