Victor Timofeev

Viktor Timofeev’s work straddles themes of fictional worlds and tropes of utopia and dystopia. His work X marks Timofeev’s first venture into fabricated sculpture, in which he experiments with the construction of place. Calling it an attempt at a “metal-sanctuary,” Timofeev sees X as somewhere between a model and a pavilion, and where opposites such as enclosed and open, inside and outside, cold and warm meet.

Timofeev’s solo exhibitions include Hannah Barry Gallery, London, Schmidt & Handrup, Cologne, Riga Art Space, Riga. Recent group exhibitions include Galerie Christian Ehrentraut, Berlin, PPOW Gallery, New York, Galerie Mikael Andersen, Berlin. In 2011, Timofeev was the second recipient of the Adolf Loos Preis, awarded by the Van den Valentyn Foundation in Cologne. Topophilia, the artist’s first survey book, was published by Strzelecki Books, Cologne in 2012.
