Vladimir Chernyshev is an artist. He alternates studio practices with the creation of land-art works. The dramaturgy of the projects is built on the contrast between the natural and the human. For studio works Vladimir makes special objects from boards, and in graphics he uses his signature technique of scraping on copy paper. The artist mostly works with wood or tar.
The artist discovers objects to which he gives a second life in the form of installations - a power line pole or wooden boards. As part of the "Suburban Practices", he made installations in abandoned places far from the city, like the "Bus Stop" somewhere in the woods.
