Ostretsov Gosha
He was born in 1967 in Moscow.
In 1984 he graduated from the Theatre and Art School at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Was a member of the group of artists "Children's Garden". From 1988-1998 he lived in Paris and worked with Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Jean-Paul Gautier and Luc Besson.
Works are in the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art in Moscow, the Arctic and Antarctic Museum in St. Petersburg, the Dreams Museum in St. Petersburg. The Gallery's collections include the Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum, the RACh Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the Arctic and Antarctic Museum in St. Petersburg, the Z. Freud Dreams Museum in St. Petersburg, and the private collections of Charles Saatchi, Simon de Pury and Lawrence Graff.
In his work, Ostretsov appeals to the aesthetics of the comic strip. He creates authorial iconography in the spirit of mainstream comics. At the same time, unlike American artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, Ostretsov does not copy other people's illustrations, but develops his own graphic story close to action comics.
"New Government" is a series of fantasy installations arranged like an American comic book. There are no direct references to either country or architecture. But something, probably irrational, gives away the origins of the works. Maybe because we are all inheritors of totalitarianism, and the audience somewhere in Saatchi says after the exhibition, "Well, now we understand how things work in Russia. Art reveals national codes. International communications arise naturally.
The project "Gems of Dissent" is a kind of gray gloomy supremacist world of reliefs, reminiscent of house models, in which suddenly emerge dynamic abstract forms of bright colors, exploded architectons - the gems of dissent. These are both intimate and monumental forms. In each installation I set the subject: the pursuit, the prison, the escape, the explosion, the crown of thorns." Gosha Ostretsov
