Biography
Yuriy Denisenkov was born in 1985 in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2010 he graduated with a Master's degree from the Scenography Faculty of the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture (NAOMA) in Kyiv. He works in painting, video, installation and scenography.
The main themes of his work are fear, memory, ruins and the loneliness of the individual in urban society. His art deals with images of memory, theatricality and ruin, combining scenographic thinking, painterly plasticity and a cinematic atmosphere to create spaces between reality and recollection.
In 2019 he won First Prize at the OBJECT Contemporary Art Prize. Since 2010 he has taken part in the "Genofond" ("Gene Pool") project of the Pavlo Gudimov Art Center (Ya Gallery). He lives and works in Kyiv.
