"Putin - Obey" Collage

Natalia Kapchuk is a Russian-born London-based artist. She works in mixed media, exploring ecological issues, global effects of pollution as well as protection of the environment. The artist’s main interests are the life on this planet, biodiversity of various countries, continents and vast expanses of oceans – the theme that never fails to inspire and spurs one to search for new expressive means and experiment in media, such as wood, resi-crete, plastic, glass bits and metallic grit, natural stones, crystals, diamond dust and gold leaf.

Natalia Kapchuk travels a lot around the world getting inspired by natural beauty to emphasize global environmental problems and negative impact of industrial waste. In the art project titled «The Lost Planet» she highlights such issues as environmental damage and critical amounts of plastic waste in the waters of the world's ocean. In order to contrast natural materials (such as tree bark, sand, natural stones, crystals, fermented moss) and enhance the effect, Kapchuk experiments with industrial materials like polymers and resi-crete, diamond dust, gilding, metal chips and plastic.
