Sasha Yazov

2000
Russia

Sasha Yazov (b. 2000) is the young artist whose primary interest is in the gaming world. His point of reference is popular video games from the early 2000s. He uses gameplay as an opportunity to make a screenshot of a uniquely created situation inside the game, and this becomes a painting. Using airbrush and stencils in the process, Yazov achieves a maximum likeness to the digital aesthetics, taking us back to a period of time when computer game culture was at its prime, and the internet still seemed a platform of freedom and unprecedented opportunity for everyone.
