Anastasia Lopoukhine

Anastasia Lopoukhine works across pen and ink, charcoal drawing and collage. The detailed nature of her process results in artworks with an intensity of expression, often lifted with a hint of wry humour. Adopting the role of a narrator, Lopoukhine is inspired by personal experiences and historical events. Often drawing from memory, her works depict characters from her childhood, which function as prompts to help her recall the funny, grotesque and strange nature of everyday encounters. With a background in etching, she is trained to commit to every line she draws allowing mistakes to guide her; as in life, one can never go back and rub things out.
