Bio of artists
Yehor Antsyhin – born on July 16, 1989, in the Yuvileine village, Dnipropetrovsk region. He graduated from Dnipro Theatre and Art College in 2009 and the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in 2015. From 2013 to 2015, he attended contemporary art course led by K. Badyanova and L. Nakonechna. He was a member of the Specific Dates art group (KKD) in 2015–2018, Montage art group in 2016–2020, and a scholarship holder of the Gaude Polonia programme in 2020. Antsyhin works with memory and discoveries within it through the conflict of personal and official history, social criticism, labour relations.
For the last 5 years, he has been actively involved in land art. It affected his view and perception of the landscape to some extend and helped him to open a new method of interaction with space, the rejection of object-subject relations with the environment and the inclusion of space not as a part but as a participant in the interaction in his works also actualising the topics of ecology and overproduction. But the golden thread of his artistic practice remains the theme of memory, recollection and oblivion.
Antsyhin uses the following media: installation, photography, painting, participatory and performative practices, archives, land art. He lives and works in Kyiv.
