Dima Gorbunov

Dima Gorbunov — Russian artist, born in 1985 in Toliati. He began his creative development in St Petersburg, graduating from Rerih Arts College in Sculpture and went onto continue his education at The Russian Academy of Arts. In 2011, Dima makes a decision to leave the Academy and continue on his artistic journey alone. From 2011 to the present time holds exhibitions abroad.

A key theme is the night life of the city, where a person tries to escape into their own romantic world of unconsciousness. In which, amongst countless lights, dark windows and neon signs of the inviting places of entertainment, they lose themselves in time and free themselves of their daily worries and torments, completely dissolving in this interval of the night. Under the fluorescent lamps you cannot see the suffering, confusion and their desperation to find love or just to satisfy their fantasies and desires. Perhaps only under the darkness of the night, one feels at peace, fooling themselves that what they are looking for at night is happiness, when it is just an illusion.
