b. 1985, United Kingdom
Alexei Izmaylov (b. 1985) lives and works in London. Izmaylov’s practice ping pongs between image making and sculpture. His work is composed of original objects and procured industrial elements that evolve as part of a propositional ecosystem — threading together notions of play, power, consumption and illicit desire. He received his MA in sculpture from the Royal College of Art, 2021. Select solo and group exhibitions include OPINIONS, FILET Space, London (2022); The Swimming Pool, Carbon.12, Dubai (2022); PROXY, Cromwell Place, London (2021); iObject, Freud Museum, London (2021); Like A Sieve, Kupfer, London (2020); Bloomberg New Contemporaries, South London Gallery, London, and Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds (2019-20); Cherry Pickers, Podium, Luxembourg (2019); Dirty Hands & Revelations, Standpoint Gallery, London (2019); PLACID & LIMPID: 3AM MIRACLE, A FRAGMENT, Nosbaum Reding Gallery, Luxembourg (2019); and Forårsudstilling, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2017).
