Alexei Izmaylov's practice ping pongs between image making and sculpture. His work is composed from original objects and procured industrial elements that evolve as part of a propositional ecosystem — threading together notions of play, power, consumption and queer desire.
Izmaylov holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art, he and his dog Toozik live and work in London.
