Irina Lopuh

I was born in the village of Borodinka in the Tevrizsky district of the Omsk region on 1980. In 2003, I started studying at the adult studio at the Art School No. 1 in Omsk. In 2005, I moved to Moscow. After long creative searches and experiments, in 2016 she entered the Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute. I studied there from 2016 to 2022. Currently I live in Istra, Moscow region, and teaches in my own art studio. I have been participating in exhibitions since 2017. My works are in private collections in Russia and the USA.

My artistic practice is centered on my own aesthetic experience. I work with images of everyday life, rethinking non-obvious, simple, often underestimated visual forms. My commitment to subjective optics allows me to discover hidden charm in unconventional plots, vernacular spaces, textures and mise en scene.

My subjects find me on their own. I only play the role of an observer and keeper of visual images-impressions, fixing, memorizing and embodying in my works those moments that surprise me. These can be unexpected associations, affective combinations of shape and color, whole complexes of inexpressible feelings and impressions – aesthetic events that occur between me and some spontaneous element of everyday reality. As an artist, I strive to preserve the impression on my memory, to make it a kind of souvenir, a reminder. Such artifacts of the aesthetic interest me for their dual content: they are both real in their reference, and fantastic because they have absorbed the breath of time – because the objects and spaces in my works are woven from a multitude of moments that I seal, sculpt in visual form.

I work in the paradigm of contemporary art, striving to contrast subjectively perceived reality with its inimitable beauty with those obsessive cults that, in their sophisticated diversity, are able to suppress and unify aesthetic experience. I see my artistic practice as part of the necessary process of returning art to real people and reducing the seemingly insurmountable speculative distance that separates the artist and his viewer.
