Egor Sovtsov

Egor Sovtsov explores the concept of object-as-it-is, contemplating quotidian thing as a unique phenomenon. He extracts the objects from immediate environment and incorporates them onto the empty canvas to illumine the native perception of them. In the state where subjects have no physical orientation or weight they display the marks and language of their own source. Objects and activities presented in such manner bring viewer back to the infant reminiscences or awaken the experience of ancient cults.

Approaching creation as a visual performance of inner consciousness, he invites spectator to participate in the creative process that depends on viewer?s activities. To achieve this he uses a wide range of techniques and media.
