Bright, independent and even an impudent artist, who’s on an upward trajectory in art world. Depth and seriousness are features of his exhibitions/projects. He masterfully thrills the audience. For this reason Ruslan Vashkevich’s shows generate interest.
Each of his works is experimental. He bypasses laws and traditions. He breaks the barriers, never looking back. He doesn’t listen to voices stuck in the past or everyday routine.
Internationally acclaimed artist, Vashkevich is one of the most original, contemporary Belarusian artists. Born in 1966 in Minsk, Belarus, he graduated from the Belarusian Academy of Fine Arts in 1992. Vashkevich is at once startling, shocking, eccentric and intelligent. As an artist Ruslan is entertaining, provocative and bold. His work is narrative, figurative, and at the same time gives a feeling of topicality. Consequently the observer witnesses his creative mood and position on the radical trends of contemporary art.
The works by Vashkevich are ironic and to a large extent social in terms of the messages they deliver. The public reaction of both ordinary viewer and professional critics varies. He reproduces what he sees and in the way he sees it. The way people react is up to them; what is important is that the works by Vashkevich won’t leave anybody indifferent.
