Post lot text

Reconnu comme l’un des artistes russes les plus importants de sa génération, Oleg Kulik explore les thèmes de l’anthropocentrisme et de l’animalité de l’être humain. Ses œuvres souvent radicales et ses performances extrêmes ont régulièrement suscité la polémique, comme celle du Man Dog en 1994. Elles ont d’ailleurs inspiré la prestation de l’homme-singe, l’une des scènes les plus marquantes du film The Square. Oleg Kulik fait ainsi de ce bestiaire canin une métaphore afin de dénoncer la condition et la place de l’artiste dans la société post-soviétique, et afin d’interroger les hommes, à la manière de la tradition littéraire russe. Oleg Kulik est notamment présent dans les collections du Centre Pompidou.

‌Recognised as one of the most important Russian artists of his generation, Oleg Kulik explores the themes of anthropocentrism and the animality of the human being. His often radical works and extreme performances have regularly provoked controversy, such as that of the Man Dog in 1994. They also inspired the performance of the ape-man, one of the most striking scenes in the film The Square. Oleg Kulik uses this canine bestiary as a metaphor to denounce the condition and place of the artist in post-Soviet society, and to question men, in the manner of the Russian literary tradition. Oleg Kulik is notably present in the collections of the Centre Pompidou.
