BELLA POKROVA
Bella is an artist and researcher working with sculpture and graphics.
Her practice is based on reflective nostalgia method. The artist refers to the repercussions of the socio-cultural shift from the Soviet to the Post-Soviet: the tendency to mythologize the past, the inability to form one's identity apart from the myth. In her research she uses the method of image deconstruction.
Graduated the Contemporary art program of the University of Hertfordshire. Finalist of the GES-2 grant program, resident of the 5th season of Winzavod's open Studios. Lives and works in Moscow.
