Victor Popov

Víctor Popov (1952, USSR) is an artist of the second wave of the Russian avant-garde. He began by decorating playgrounds and building wooden villages, developing a passion for this material. In 1985 he moved to Leningrad (Saint Petersburg) and joined a group of avant-garde artists.

Influenced by Malevich’s Suprematism, he created geometric art and, after moving to Germany in 1991, returned to working with wood through abstract sculptures. He exhibited at the State Russian Museum and in several international exhibitions.
