Konstantine Latyshev's style is recognizable; it is conceptual pop art.
His works resemble a soviet poster, a sentimental postcard, a movie poster. Bright and graphic, they are combined with ironic and concise captions-titles that play, emphasize, or subvert the meaning of the image.
Paintings
Since 2003, Konstantin Latyshev has been working on creating prints - artworks made on a computer using Adobe Illustrator software. He was one of the first to master this fascinating technique of creating computer images.
In 2007, Konstantin Latyshev became a nominee for the Kandinsky Prize for his series of prints titled "The Empire of Good.
Prints
The group, formed in 1986, became part of the young generation of the "Moscow Conceptualism" movement. The wonderful spirit of collaborative creativity, daring realization of interesting and unconventional ideas, the talent of each member, support, and debates - all of this made the group contemporary and significant.
Konstantin Latyshev is a member of the group "Champions of the World." The group also includes Gia Abramishvili, Boris Matrosov, and Andrey Yakhnin.
Champions of the World
The exhibition featured over 200 artworks, including paintings, graphics, objects, and works on fabric, created during the period from 1986 to 1990. Several actions and performances by the group were reconstructed based on photographs and documentation since the artistic practice of the "Champions of the World" often involved creating a work and then immediately destroying it. According to the curators, working on the exhibition was like "solving a puzzle, a detective investigation, a search for 'unknown champions'." Each discovered artwork by the group became an undeniable victory, transforming into a literal archaeological find.
