Biography:

Valentin Korzhov is a Russian artist born in Moscow in 1975. He is known for his multimedia works combining sculpture, photography, and video. Korzhov's sculptures often merge neoclassical depictions of the body with postmodern ideas about materiality. He is fascinated by Heidegger's idea of nothingness and often places his sculptures in neutral natural environments to observe their interaction with the space around them. Korzhov has exhibited his work in galleries and museums in Russia and internationally.
