Svetlana Prokhorova was born in the USSR, and now lives and works in Sydney, the Gadigal Land.
Her current project investigates the power of the visual language of Avant-garde and Russian Constructivism. It is informed by her personal experience of Soviet symbolism and visual elements that emerged from the Avant-garde graphic culture. She analyses how values of progressive art movements served propaganda purposes in a totalitarian regime. In her art practice, Svetlana uses geometric abstraction and minimal forms, paying a special attention to colour and its psychological effect.
