Andrei Protsouk – In The Moment

Background

Born in the industrial city of Donetsk in 1961, Andrei Protsouk demonstrated an exceptional gift for art from a young age. With his father a photographer and his mother a master embroiderer, it seemed only natural that he too would pursue a career within the arts. Subsequently, on leaving school, Protsouk attended the prestigious Lugansk School of Fine Art. Followed by a Masters Degree at the Ilya Repin Leningrad Institute; widely regarded as one of the worlds finest art training programmes. Here, Protsouk studied under Evsey Moiseenko, a world renowned contemporary of Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso. Moiseenko then adopted Protsouk as his protegee, recognizing the potential of his already remarkable talent. As a result, Protsouk’s early works reflected the melancholy of the Soviets living conditions, using, heavy textures and dark colours.

Elaborate

In 1994 Andrei moved with his family to the US, where he quickly established himself as a prominent figure on the contemporary art scene. Markedly, his paintings became more colourful; his subjects more joyful. Ultimately, his art now celebrating life in the freedom of American society. Many of his artworks now centre around the universal theme of love. Frequently depicting couples in the midst of passionate dances or embraces. Unafraid to work to large scales, Protsouks elaborate pieces burst with vibrant colours, intricate shapes and varied textures.
