Artist’s Biography – (50-75 words):

Oleg Kulik is a Russian performance artist, sculptor, photographer and curator. His work has a lot of symbolic meaning. He was born in Kiev and graduated from the Kiev art school. Furthermore, he won a scholarship from the Pollack- Krasner fund and a grant from Berlin State. His work is very domestic and involves animals such as the dog. He is most known for his performance as a dog, including Mad Dog, Reservoir Dog and I Bite America and America Bites Me. He has been exhibited and performed all around the world.


Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words): His work and images are very surprising and interesting. They go back to the basics of human and animal nature. A lot of his work is a little bit too out there and shocking and would definitely be controversial. But that is what draws attention and Oleg Kulik definitely knows how to do that.
