Andrei Pokrovskii (b.1996, Russia) lives and works in London. He studied Graphic Arts at Moscow State University of Printing Arts (2016) and earned a BA in Illustration at British High School of Art and Design (2019). His practice explores the relationship between individuals and their surrounding environments—how space shapes and subdues characters, turning them into extensions of the landscape. Approaching painting as an object rather than a flat image, he emphasizes its volume, weight, and material presence. Each work becomes an artefact—an extension of the world it evokes, dissolving the boundary between the environment within the work and the viewer's realm.
