Known for his vivid depictions of the sublime savagery of human existence, Fedosseev has always represented experience and memory as transient notions that emerge and fade pictorially in the mind’s imagination, forming an unreliable, emotional layering with reality. Fedosseev is interested in how we visually process and remember events and emotions as individuals alone, or engaged in relationships with others, or our environment. Multiple moments swirl and scratch, stab and blend into one another in the single instant of the canvas. Lone figures are never truly alone. A sense of repetition and performance alerts the viewer. This is an examination of the extremities and banalities of experience that are universal. It’s an experiment between artist and viewer, a timeless expression, and of course, a celebration of all of the above. Dmitri Fedosseev was born in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, in 1984. He spent his formative years traveling with his mother and the Premier Moscow Circus through the Soviet Union and North America. He moved to Moscow in 1990 before immigrating to Canada in 1996. In 2007, Fedosseev graduated from OCAD in fine arts. He lives and works in Toronto. Zeitgeist is his fifth solo show. words by Antoinette di Michele
