Dmitry Sokolenko does not so much create imagery as find it - in typefaces, logos and symbols, which are magnified and cropped, cut and spliced to a point of complete abstraction. The resulting "pictures" are signs to decipher via the clues in their titles and the visual archives in our heads.

Dmitry Sokolenko lives and works in Russia. He is a trained microbiologist who now practises as an artist (though he rejects the nomenclature). His biography remains obscure since the only published details are fictive and fantastical.
