Sergey Dozhd, an academician from the Russian Academy of Fine Arts, has been pursuing his art dreams alone over the past 30 years. He didn’t jump on the bandwagon to follow the contemporary art of Europe and the United States. Neither did he follow the Russia’s Political Pop highly praised by the West. Instead, he sticks to Russia’s tradition to explore avant-garde art and persistently goes forward with abstraction.

He has devoted himself to studying the works of Malevich, Picasso, Kandinsky, Rothko and other artists since 1980s and created his earliest collection of PSY abstract paintings. Unwilling to put them on display, however, Dozhd kept pushing himself ahead in this off-the-beaten track for 30 years. He didn’t bring his works to the global stage until 2012 when his works PSY Abstraction: Expanding the Space of Abstraction was published. Art critics said that by then he had established a brand new art form, the PSY ART, both theoretically and in practice. These works ranging from sketches, paintings, installations, videos and photographs have demonstrated a novel expression of the spiritual world and immediately attracted global attention after being exhibited in Russia, the United States, Canada, Germany and France.

Through the PSY Art exhibition, Dozhd sheds lights on how an artist makes free choices in his artistic creation. His works bear a strong Russian flavor and provides a distinctive perspective to enrich the current sino-foreign exchanges on abstract art.
