Rinat Voligamsi

Rinat Voligamsi

Born in 1968 in the village of Ermolaevo in Bashkiria. In 1989 graduated from UGNTU. Specialist in Architecture. In 1994 he was a Laureate of the State Prize of Russia. Since 2000 is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. In 2014 won the Repin Prize. In 2014 nominated for the Kandinsky Prize. Lives and works in Ufa.

“Canvases by Rinat Voligamsi remind of a black-and-white pictorial review and war-time sketchbooks of the Soviet period. Using the style of an archive document, the artist consummately paints impossible, absurd stories. The ironic, post-conceptualist optics of Rinat Voligamsi demolishes ideological structures of pathos an heroism, and the status of a document confirming reality is doubted by reality itself.”
– Alexander Evangeli
