Kuril Chto

bio & cv

Kuril Chto (b. 1989) works in a wide range of media, including drawing, painting, digital drawing, ceramics, sculpture, urban interventions, and performance. Pulling intuitively from the world of social networks, memes, news, advertising, and everyday life, he creates ironic and absurd narratives that often revolve around a series of everyday objects.

Through his art, Kuril probes difficult, often controversial and painful topics and themes that underlie contemporary society.

Kuril Chto received his MFA at the New York Academy of Art. Based in NYC and Lisbon.
