Roman Defoe

Roman Defoe

Country: Russia ·Born in 1975
  • Year of birth: 1975
  • When I started practicing art: At 19, I began consciously creating finished paintings (artworks)
  • Painting style: Previously, I identified myself as an artist working in the genre of mystical realism. Over time, conceptual works began to appear. Now, with the years, my understanding of my method and direction has transformed. I now see myself as a conceptual artist, genre: conceptual art.
  • Art education: Correspondence People's University of Arts. Institute of Graphics and Design. (1998-2000) I was a member of the International Art Fund for about two years.
  • Exhibition participation: The 2022 exhibition "Netshin Meadow" with some of my works created at different periods. A district-level exhibition. Previously, and even later, I did not exhibit as I could not understand my format or goals. Now I better understand my method and expression. I can see the path and confidently follow this line. Currently, I am working on an exhibition project that I dream of realizing.
  • Sales: Between 1999 and 2008, there were occasional one-time sales of works (three) to private collectors in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Norway.
  • Themes that interest me as an artist: Living life as a process, HERE AND NOW, what it means to be ALIVE. Engagement, active exploration of the world and oneself within it, ecology of relationships and communication. The influence of technology on the development of society and the image of a person as a result of this influence. The problem of internal conflict in the lives of people in modern society: being trapped in the falsity of conditionally accepted false concepts of a prosperous life and the striving for authentic living. The truth is somewhere nearby).
  • Also disciplines I work in: video art, musical compositions, animation (2D, collage)

Achievements (awards, articles, exhibitions)

Mindfulness is the main achievement and the ability to focus; now I see my path and the development of my method more clearly. I dedicate a lot of time to preparing and creating my exhibition project, and I hope it will be realized within a year.)
