2. Ni Petrov (Nikita Petrov)@nipetrov, a Siberian-born artist based now in St. Petersburg, explores the human form through the lens of contemporary urban life. With a background in architecture from Altai State Technical University, he translates his fascination with crowds into watercolors, stop-motion animations, and Google Street View collages. Since 2007, his works have been exhibited internationally, capturing the collective movement of city dwellers rather than individual stories.
In his renowned *Man in the City* series, Petrov isolates bustling crowds from their surroundings, placing them against stark white backgrounds. This absence of context transforms the figures into sculptural forms, frozen in perpetual transit.
His latest works, inspired by unnoticed urban objects, such as the piece included in this airdrop, reflect his interest in the hidden elements that shape daily life—offering a poetic meditation on the transient and the permanent within the urban landscape.
