About Konstantin Bessmertny
Konstantin Bessmertny is a creature of boundaries between times, cultures and places. The effect is not lost on his works, which gleefully portray challenges of basic, almost universally accepted understandings of zeitgeist, history, and its heroes. One of the most exciting artists working in Asia today, Konstantin Bessmertny affords the viewer a delicious glimpse into a world that could so nearly exist through his work.
Born in Blagoveshchensk, Russia, across the Amur River from Heihe, China, Bessmertny has spent the last twenty-two years living in Macau and during that time, has become one of its foremost artistic ambassadors.
