RECOGNITION

Ilya Potapov is a contemporary Russian artist. His main source of ideas is society. World events, generational values, communication technologies, family attitudes and traditions. He likes to call it ordinary surrealism or amazing parodies of ordinary activities. The artist's ironic cuts often betray even serious plots.

His main media are canvas and oil. According to him, this material is the most expressive because of the semantic load that he gave to the canvases. He often uses acrylic as a process, but usually in support of oil, to create more texture and layers.
