Artist at CAVE: Gosha Levochkin
Gosha is an artist currently showing at CAVE this month. For Gosha, growing up during the fall of the Soviet Union, there wasn't much to do so he started drawing. When Gosha moved to Los Angeles, he was introduced to a different kind of style of art that immediately inspired him to paint. Over the years, Gosha experimented with different mediums and learned from his “mistakes”, and has developed a unique memorable style.
Gosha was always inspired by cities. To him, buildings that have been tagged or deteriorating with age give cities more character. He is intrigued with how people live their daily lives in urban density and clutter and somehow make it all work. This series reflects on how each person has their own view of their city that lives in their minds.
