Biography
Dmytro Kryshovskyi was born in 1988 in the city of Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi. The artist grew up in an unremarkable district of Cherkasy, where «panels,» melted elevator buttons, the smell of tobacco on the landing, drafts, and childhood adventures.
Love for art appeared in school — then the first wave of street art swept through the world. From 2003 to 2007, the boy studied at the Cherkasy State College of Business. In 2010, he graduated from the National Academy of Managers of Culture and Arts in Kyiv. By the way, he stayed there to live and create.
Currently, he works in graphics, painting, posters, and graphic design. He became famous when he painted on the movement «Zhlob-art» — a movement that ridiculed Ukrainian misers.
Dmytro participates in various exhibitions in Ukraine and around the world. His fresh look at familiar things forces them to be reconsidered once again. That is why the artist’s works are kept in private collections in Belgium, France, England, and the USA.
