Igor Selemenev
Artist from Ukraine
"I care about personal connection, but only the one where each of us pays attention to each other. I don't work with galleries. I express myself through my works but happy to have a conversation with you. We are too lonely, too atomised.
I am deeply inspired by David Hopper and Vermeer as well as Hieronymus Bosch. The colours, the light and the human condition in-between."
Igor Selemenev (b. 1972, Ukraine)
is a multidisciplinary artist who explores themes of existence and transition. "My works are not about escaping into emptiness, but about crossing it," he explains, emphasizing the depth of his artistic intent.
Selemenev primarily works with monochrome, figurative lithography, referring to himself as
a "labourer" in the creative process. He favours offset ink and has experimented with different mediums, including scanning and enlarging his works into pixelated forms on felt cardboard, and craft paper for exhibitions. In addition
to printmaking, Selemenev also works with ceramics. He finds deep inspiration in the works of Vermeer and Hieronymus Bosch.
“I care about personal connection, but only the one where each of us pays attention to each other. We are too atomised. The colours, the light can help to alleviate the human condition”.
