About the artist
Sasha Kokacheva was born in 1987 in the Arkhangelsk region. Lives and works in St. Petersburg. Graduated from the Repin Institute of Arts, Department of easel graphics (2018) and PRO ARTE School for Young Artists (2018). Resident at Nepokorennie Open Studio in St. Petersburg (2019) and HongYuan International Arts Village in China (2016). Trained at the Saimaa University of Applied Sciences, Department of Graphic Arts in Imatra, Finland (2015). Participated in the exhibitions “Young Artists from Russia” at the Cyprus Museum of Contemporary Art in Nicosia (2020) and “New Names.2020” at the Museum of Nonconformist Art in St. Petersburg (2020). The works are in private collections in Belgium, China, Finland, Germany, Russia, China, Finland and Cyprus.
The main subject of Sasha Kokacheva’s research is shapes of personal and collective memory through phantom images of people and self-portraits. The artist’s work centers around reflection on the surrounding world and ways of existence in it. Emotionally charged works with varying degrees of color intensity, but with the same obsessive sense of tension, become the embodiment of inner experiences.
