Biography
My name is Gennadiy Ivanov. I am a Russian artist working in the Studio Art Gallery in Norwich, UK.
I was born in Vladimir City in the Russian Federation in 1968 into a military family and grew up in various places in the former Soviet Union.
My artistic potential was identified in my teenage years and after serving in the Belarus Army I went to Art College in Bobruisk and graduated with the highest grades in 1991 in Fine Art specializing in stained glass and decoration. Since then I have worked as a professional artist in several galleries, a local folk museum, theatre, Bobruisk city art studios and as an interior designer in Belarus and Europe. I have been painting professionally for almost 30 years. My artworks are exhibited widely and I have paintings in Private Collections all over the world.
'TRAJECTORIES. INSIDE-OUT' 3D Installation.
I am exploring yesterdays-tomorrows.
My recent 3D installation is a mixed media: photographs, graphics, found objects, recycled materials, industrial printer, paper, trees, toys. I am exploring the relationship between the past, present and future.
Refiguring these objects and ideas into 'Trajectories'. The installation explores the socio-politics of energy today from a variety of perspectives: including art, social, political, economic and the use of energy in global geopolitics.
