Gosha Levochkin

BIOGRAPHY

Gosha Levochkin (b.1986) is a New York artist, born in Moscow, in the former Soviet Union.

Following his parents’ separation, he moved with his mother and sister to Los Feliz, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. Immersed in the local skateboarding and punk rock subcultures, he was introduced to the work of Raymond Pettibon, which led him to discover influential artists such as Peter Saul, El Lissitzky and Francisco Goya and etc Rather than pursuing a formal art education, he is largely self-taught, gradually developing his own artistic identity.

His work draws heavily from Japanese visual culture, particularly manga as well as his own cultural heritage. Visually and conceptually, his practice is informed by elements of Post-Russian Constructivism and Post-Suprematism.
