Ivashkevich Veronica

Veronika Ivashkevich was born in 1992 in Minsk. After graduating from the Minsk Art School in 2012, Veronika entered the Department of Painting and Restoration at the St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry named after A.L.Stieglitz.

Veronica works in the genres of easel and printed graphics, as well as artistic photography, in both mediums creating borderline interior spaces for the detached viewer, revealing the ontological complexity of the simplest objects.

Trying to overcome direct narrative and comprehendible conceptuality of images, the artist works in the "transit zone" (as, by the way, was the name of her recent solo exhibition in "Cube", Moscow) – a kind of strange intuitive space inhabited by semi-random images, simple things vaguely referring to pop – culture or personal visual revelations. An attempt to catch them becomes destructive, while deliberate watercolor "bugs" – smudges, blurred outlines or blots – on the contrary, turn out to be elusive portals to the world of apparent recognition, knowledge, meaning or absurdity.

Works by Veronika Ivashkevich are kept in private collections in Belarus, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, Russia, USA, France.
