About The Artwork
Forlorn and spiritually bankrupt, tender or abject – the subjects in the figurative paintings of Sanya Kantarovsky (b. 1982) convey an uneasy, dark humor. They seem trapped in a precarious inner monologue, or under the spell of mundane lived experience. Sanya Kantarovsky: Selected Works 2010-2024 is published with the support of Aspen Art Museum, following Kantarovsky's exhibition A Solid House (2022). It includes more than 140 full-color image plates and spans the artist's oeuvre, focusing on his most recent output since his previous monograph No Joke (2014). The publication also includes a conversation between Kantarovsky and art historian Isabelle Graw, as well as essays by the psychoanalyst and writer Jamieson Webster and art historian George Baker.
About Sanya Kantarovsky
Sanya Kantarovsky (b. 1982) is well known for his figurative painting, alongside his curatorial and text-based work. Dark humour is a consistent theme throughout his practice, building a sense of inner uneasiness and disquiet as his figures interact with one another- and with Kantarovsky’s artistic predecessors.
He has exhibited internationally, and his work can be found in prominent institutional collections worldwide, such as Tate, London; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art, New York City; and the EMDASH Foundation, Berlin.
Following his solo exhibition, ‘Apricot Juice’ with Ieva Misčeviūtė at Studio Voltaire, a comprehensive monograph of his work has been co-published by Studio Voltaire and Koenig Books.
