New Illustrations by Artem Mirolevich
McCaig-Welles is pleased to present 'Sunken City', an
exhibition of new works by New York artist, Artem
Mirolevich.
'Sunken City' is comprised of a series of watercolor
and ink illustrations depicting a post-apocalyptic
city submerged under water. With an intense color
palette and uncompromising attention to detail, he
merges ancient civilizations and philosophies with
present and futuristic societies. His subtle layering
of collage incorporates mostly historical and
religious text: phrases, prayers, meditations and
quotes.
A timeless story is carried throughout the exhibit by
the interaction of heroes, villains, ordinary men and
mythological creatures all of whom dwell in this
sunken city. His tales include dwellers of Babylon,
the lost soldiers of Alexander the Great, Samurai
warriors, urban legends, time travelers and
scientists.
Born and raised in Minsk, Russia, and currently
residing in New York, Artem Mirolevich holds a BFA in
Fine Arts and illustration from The School of Visual
Arts, where he was granted a full scholarship. He has
had shows at Figureworks in 2003 and at Galeri Galou
in 2004. He has created murals and promotional
illustrations for The Wu-Tang Clan, Groove Corps and
Empire Records.
