About

Katya Rozhkova included in the list of the Best Russian contemporary artists (ARTEEX). Katya Rozhkova draws with a simple Koh-i-Noor pencil. For a long time, in detail and very scrupulous. Each crack, scratch, break - traces left on objects by time. So she follows the elusive and at the same time extremely simple logic of the depicted subject. Rozhkova depicts plates, buckets, telephones, cameras, trying to look through her obedient and meticulous pencil where real objects of everyday life lose their familiar ties with the world and turn into objects of contemplation. Still lifes, an old washstand, a Singer sewing machine, white window bindings of a post-war terrace, bushes. In the center of artistic practices, Rozhkova is an object, she brings it both in scale and pitch to a sign. The large-scale format of the easel work, the technical luxury of the classic drawing - as if the chamber drawing was raised to a power - all this gives rise to an unusual effect in which the opposites of the boring technique seem to be shot. Katya Rozhkova: “The imperfection that conceals the surrounding world - and more often than not even conceals, but joyfully flaunts - indescribably annoys the average man. But for an artist, this is imperfection, on the contrary - an eternal source of happy surprise. ” Katya Rozhkova graduated from the production department of the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography, trained at the National Academy of Fine Arts of Tokyo. Rozhkova’s works are in the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, in the collections of ABN AMRO Bank, Petrocommerce Bank (Moscow), Fleming Bank (London), private collections in Russia, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, France, Israel and the United Kingdom.
