Veronika Hapchenko

As the world has become heavily dependent on technology, with 3D printing being capable of generating replacements for pivotal human organs, ideas of immortality and the values implied therein have made a come-back. Kiev-born artist Veronika Hapchencko has devoted her practice to the exploration of Eastern European avant-garde and its quest to bring the world to a new dimension. Her paintings evoke an unidentified matter as well as fluid-like shapes that blur the distinction between organic and artificial. Her quasi-abstract canvases bring together acrylic paint and ink to create a catalogue of strange new objects that look as if coming from a strange future.
