About the artist
In his projects, he uses such visual forms as painting, installation, sculpture, graphics, digital art. Nesterov’s works explore the relationship between materiality, information flows, economics and technology. Considering complex connections, between which it is difficult to
establish correlations, the artist displays reality in a nonlinear, multi-layered way, addresses the theme of chaos and randomness. Slava Nesterov operates as an archaeologist, excavating new myths steeped in object- oriented aesthetics. His works channel flows of meaning, materializing them into tangible existence.
