The parallel world by Vasya Lozhkin
The parallel world by Vasya Lozhkin
Born 18 August, 1976, Vasily or Vasya Lozhkin is a Russian artist and songwriter living in Solnechnogorsk, a small town in Moscow region. Noteworthy, the artist himself doubts in his artistic abilities. Meanwhile, in his paintings you can see the world of psychosis, madness, extreme forms of mental states, visions and hallucinations. In short, a parallel world. And if sometimes there are intersections with reality, they are very few. According to the artist, his art is not a reflection of our lives in a distorting mirror but a frightening fantasy world and the lives of the ghosts. Vasya Lozhkin also likes to paint cats, bunnies, dogs, and sometimes horses. However, cats are still the preferable theme. And his cats live our absurd human life to the fullest.
“As an artist (in the great sense of the word, of course, because I can not draw) I am indifferent to the surrounding reality. I picture a fabulous fantasy world. Sometimes it’s a world of psychoses and all kinds of borderline conditions, sometimes it’s scary, but still it’s a fairy tale with a good ending. In general, recently I try to do more than something positive, something that would cause positive emotions”.
