Alexei Izmaylov's practice ping pongs between image making and sculpture. His work is composed of original objects and procured industrial elements that together evolve as part of a propositional ecosystem — threading together notions of play, power, consumption and illicit desire.

Izmaylov and his dog Toozik live and work in London, where along with Vincent Crapon they co-founded Sexy frog biscuit project space and TETRIS art residency, a European exchange programme.
