Ilya Volykhine
About
Ilya Volykhine was born in Russia 1967, emigrated to NYC in 1990 and lived there for 10 years before moving to Australia in 2000 and becoming a citizen there. Volykhine has held several solo exhibitions in the USA & Australia and his work has been selected for various group exhibitions, including the Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW and the Blake Prize for Religious Art, the Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award, the Mosman Prize, and most recently the Walker & Hall Art Award. His artwork falls into the contemporary neo-expressionist genre. A strife-filled background in the USSR during the 60's, 70's and 80's has definitely had an impact on both the artist and his art. His work is figurative, allowing both memory and imagination to work together as the major influences in his style and composition. His paintings have an intuitive and raw sensibility, with a dreamlike intermingling of colour, imagination and personal cultural history. They also possess a somewhat haunting quality, stemming in part from his unique technique and idiosyncratic use of imagery. He is widely collected internationally and is a full time artist. His next exhibition will be in May of 2012 in New Zealand. … Read More
