Biography

Nikita Shokhov, the son of Russian painter, art critic, and an associate professor of Tyumen State University Konstantin Shokhov,[4] was born in Kamensk-Uralsky, USSR. Despite the inherited interest in visual arts, he initially studied in Ural State Law University in Ekaterinburg. Immediately after that he lost interest in the legal profession and decided to study photography and cinema. He joined photography club at the Metenkov House Museum of Photography (Russian: Дом Метенкова), attended workshops led by a renowned photographer Sergey Rogozhkin, and cinematography classes at Sverdlovsk Film Studio. Thereafter he moved to Moscow to enroll in The Rodchenko Art School and continued his education at the documentary photography workshop under the guidance of Igor Mukhin.[5] [6] In late 2010th he continued his education at California Institute of the Arts and School of Visual Arts at Virginia Tech.[7] [8] [9]

Art practice

Shokhov works with both still and moving images. Throughout art projects, he explores the duality of body and mind, myth and reality, human nature, religions, history, and culture.[10] He works in collaboration with his spouse Anna Evtiugina who takes roles of co-author, and producer, depending on a project.[11] [12]

Shokhov's photographs were published in The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, Harper's Bazaar Art, l’Insensé, Openspace, Elle, Time Out and British Journal of Photography, L'Officiel Russia, L'Express, Courrier International, IL, China Newsweek, Calvert Journal, Colta, and YET magazine.[13] [14] [15] He participated in numerous art festivals and biennales, including Manifesta 10 in Saint Petersburg, Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, and Photoquai in Paris.

Photography

A number of Shokhov's projects were dedicated to the contemporary Russian character.[28] He sampled the way of life of Russian people and their ties to national culture in the small towns of Bologoe (shot in 2014) and Pereslavl-Zalessky (shot in 2013), a Sep village in Udmurtia. In 2014, Shokhov took part in a large "Where Does the Motherland Begin?" national photographic project aimed to depict a variety of Russian traditions and overlapping of soviet and modern Russian culture.[29]
