Evgeny Antufiev
Russian painter (born 1986)
Evgeny Antufiev (Russian: Евгений Антуфьев; born 1986) is a Russian artist.
Life and work
Born 1986 in Kyzyl (Tuva Republic), Antufiev graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Art (Moscow) in 2009. His artistic career began with the Objects of Protection solo exhibition, which took place on the Start Platform in Winzavod (Moscow) in late 2008 – early 2009. His debut show expressed Antufiev's key creative method and the primary topic in the focus of his practice: working with non-typical, ‘organic’ materials such as bones, hair, teeth, and skin, the artist contemplates the immortality of form and the transformation of content while making visual references to shamanic practices common in Tuva region, as well as to other archaic cultures.
In 2009 Antufiev took part in a number of group shows in Moscow and St. Petersburg: Needlework (PROUN Gallery, Moscow), The Space of Silence (The Red Flag Factory, St. Petersburg), and had his second solo exhibition Myths of My Childhood (Globe Gallery, ETAGI loft project, St. Petersburg). The same year Antufiev became the winner in the “Young artist. Project of the year” category of the Kandinsky Prize for his debut show, Objects of Protection.
