About the Item

Kirill Lebedev (Kto) "Steadfast Gaze At This Work May Lead Nowhere", 2020 Acrylic on canvas, mixed media 120 x 110 cm Kirill Lebedev (Kto) (b. 1984, Zelenograd, Russia) lives and works in Moscow. Kirill Kto is something of a cult figure within Moscow’s street art subculture, contributing immensely not only through his diverse work as an artist, but also as one of the few theorists and curators of street art. In his efforts to create a more self-conscious, intelligent, and meaningful culture for the streets, Lebedev has systematically declared war on hollow practices such as tagging and purposeless graffiti, while continually questioning and revisiting his own beliefs and convictions as an artist. His recent works are often dark and pessimistic messages executed in psychedelic patchworks of color, and are at once uplifting and disquieting. Lebedev has been actively involved in street art as part of the collectives Zachem? (2002–2009) and No Future Forever (2005–2009). He was co-organizer of Pasha 183’s posthumous solo exhibition Our Work is a Feat! at Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2014); initiator and organizer of the first street art prize in Russia, Street Contribution (2013); and co-curator of the project Wall at Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art (2010–2013). Group exhibitions include: Across Borders/Through Limitations, Museum of Street Art, St. Petersburg (2016); and 11, Garage CCC, Moscow (2015). His rhymed statements filled with self-reflection create a mass interest thanks to the medium where they are placed – the streets, and foremost to the message that speaks to any passerby. For Kirill, street art is communication and dialogue first and a state, tuning, modality, where the artist wants to exist. The audience is engaged in communication by a strong artistic form: that is how Kirill attracts the attention of the public. He is also trying to mask his persistent feeling of apathy and dissatisfaction with colour and a vigorous contrasting form of expression.
