Khodak Nikita
Khodak Nikita is a Russian “street wave” artist.
Was born in 1992 in Moscow. He began his artistic career with graffiti painting in 2006. Member of the famous street art group Zuk Club since 2016. Participant of various mural-art festivals in Russia and the CIS countries.
Since 2017, Nikita has focused on finding the perfect combination of post-digital visuals and fictional imagery to create synthetic artifacts.
The artist integrates machine learning, printing, AR animation into the classic painting environment to achieve a new visual form and aesthetic experience.
An important role in the conceptual meaning of the author's artistic statements is played by constant research into the problems of total digitization of human life.
By mixing the conceptual ironic philosophy of postmodernism with modern ideas of post-truth, the artist tries to ask topical questions about issues concerning the dark side of technological progress.
