Alexander Egorov is a Russian artist who works with photography. In his practice Egorov combines photography and digital technologies, using the deconstruction technique. Alexander Egorov’s art is devoted to information saturation and overconsumption, the aesthetics of imperfection and the modelling of neo-reality. Born in 1987 in Moscow. In 2010 he graduated from the Ivan Fyodorov University of Printing Arts in Moscow, then in 2012 from the Moscow British Higher School of Design (Faculty of Photography). From 2019 to 2020 he took the New Artistic Strategies course at the Joseph Backstein Institute of Contemporary Art. In 2012 Alexander Egorov won The Best of Russia award with his ‘Sandman’ project. The Ruarts Gallery has hosted four solo exhibitions by the photographer: ‘Alexander Egorov’ in 2013, ‘Stickers’ in 2017, ‘Trading’ in 2021, and the first totally abstract project ‘The Quince Tree Sun’ in 2023. The artist’s works are included in the permanent collection of the Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (KMoPA, Japan), where they participated in the Young Portfolio Acquisitions project in 2018 and 2021, in the collection of the Ruarts Foundation and important private collections. In 2021, Alexander Egorov was one of the seven Russian authors who took part in the international project "Lady Dior As Seen By" in the Ruarts Foundation. His work "Lady in the Jungle" was included into the House of Dior collection. In 2022, he took part in the Collab program of the V-A-C Contemporary Art Foundation. Currently the author is actively experimenting with the analogue process, exploring and expanding the potential of photographic art.
