Enjoy the exhibit Konstantin Bokov’s Journey Through the New York Cityscape, which features a selection of works on paper and objects from the Kolodzei Art Foundation’s collection by the prominent mixed media artist, Konstantin Bokov, which offers a glimpse into his creative process and celebrates his artistic journey. Konstantin Bokov was born in Shostka, Ukraine, to the Soviet poet and songwriter, Victor Bokov, in 1940. Pursuing a career as an artist was encouraged by his family, and at a young age, he attended the Art Academy of Leningrad in St. Petersburg. After his studies, Bokov moved to Moscow, where he discovered the works of Vincent Van Gogh and knew he had found his calling. Feeling the urge for freedom and artistic expression, Bokov immigrated to New York City in 1974, where the atmosphere of the art world was on the brink of change. A talented draftsman, he is always drawing, capturing the energy and mood of a scene with his impressions and observations of the surroundings. With his vivid imagination, Bokov also utilizes paint, fabric, plastic, and everyday found objects to explore his creative ideas.
