Nikolay Koshelev

Born 1987 in Moscow. Having studied the monumental arts at the Moscow Academy, which included rigorous training in Russian and Italian techniques of fresco, mosaic and large-scale sculpture, history lies at the foundation of Koshelev’s practice. These traditional foundations, however, converge with Nikolay’s later MFA training at the New York Academy of Art and erstwhile life as graffiti artist on the streets of Moscow, creating a singular approach to world-building within a contemporary lens. Solo exhibitions include The State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow; Bahnhof Gallery, New York, NY (online); Lazy Mike Gallery, New York; and Triumph Gallery, Moscow, Russia. Koshelev’s work has been featured in group exhibitions including Marie Von Papen Gallery, London; Lazy Mike Gallery, Moscow; New York Academy of Art, New York; and Bleecker Street Arts Club, New York.
