Konstantins Zhukov
Konstantins Zhukov
(b.1990) is an artist living and working between Riga (Latvia) and London (UK). Zhukov’s artistic practice takes inspiration from various texts and literary sources – from homoerotic poems of the Islamic Golden Age to the love letters of Oscar Wilde and Foucault’s work on sexuality. Using literary texts as a starting point to aid in the unveiling of personal stories that explore different forms of love, attachment and sexuality, his work strives to arouse the imagination and provoke curiosity through a highly charged symbolic language. After graduating from the Riga Secondary School of Design and Art, Zhukov continued his studies at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and the London College of Communication in the United Kingdom.
