'X'

Viktor Timofeev's work is very representational of a 'fictional' world. By breaking up sections of a building, he can create boundaries that are almost surreal, such as his first fabricated sculptural project 'X'. He stated that he believed it was a mix between a model and a pavilion, there is no sense of inside or outside and no closure. It was created with a corton steel as an exterior and a stainless steel interior which reflects light creating the illusion of more space and surrounding the viewer with a mirrored panorama after them entering through diagonal interlocking 'teeth', giving a sense that's slightly menacing. In his paintings, there is an evident influence from 3D gaming. His previous works show wireframes, strong angular shapes and lightwashes; whereas his more recent works possess a stronger and more vibrant palette reflecting his eye for 'cyber- architecture'.
