Solovyev Paul

Pavel Soloviev is a multidisciplinary autodidact artist working in performance, non spectacle art, readymade, installation, photography, painting and drawing. Drawing on the influence of his previous professional experience in advertising and fashion, Pavel focuses on quirer aspects of identity that challenge notions of representation and the eschatological potential of the image. In his projects, Paul explores the transformation and transgression of the image in the stream of sacred, mystical, political and advertising symbols that fill the mediums of contemporary mass culture.

Pavel's works are in private and corporate collections in the USA, UK, Spain, Germany, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Ukraine and Russia.

He lives and works in Moscow.
