Rhythm Adjust

“In 2020 I was working on the tapestry Commission for a Fusion Project and began to read into Cosmology, Astronomy and nuclear physics.” - Yelena Popova, 2021

Popova is an artist who works across a wide range of media, including painting, video and installation. Reflecting her upbringing in the Urals, she is influenced by the tenets of Russian Constructivism, while often seeking to discuss the constant development of industrialism and the landscape of contemporary Capitalism. There is an important stress placed upon the theme of balance within her work, whether this is political, aesthetic or metaphysical.
