Alesha
Artist
Alesha was born in Russia, Kazan in 1992. At the age of 16 he moved to England to study filmmaking and spent 4 years of studies closely with painters and artists. That group of young minds inspired him to start painting and to learn more about the art world which he had never heard of before. In 2012, he moved to the U.S. to continue his filmmaking degree. Two years in New York and one year in Los Angeles brought a new vision to his art and interest in the street art world.
At the filmmaking course he learned to focus on details, but to never forget about the entire picture. His style is what he likes to call “Beautifully Disturbing.” These experiences formed and developed his style in his work today. Now, Alesha lives is Russia, and continues to paint and grow as an artist.

Janis Rafa: Feed me. Cheat me. Eat me.Oct 14, 2023 – Jan 7, 2024Eye Filmmuseum presents a solo exhibition by artist and filmmaker Janis Rafa. Spoken language rarely features in her evocative films and video installations; she focuses instead on the silent presence of non-humans, allowing them to become the leading force within her poetic compositions. Her narratives emphasise animalistic instincts, untamed behaviours and inabilities to coexist, alongside human fears, expectations and failure. (more…)

Lutz Bacher: AYE!Oct 5 – Dec 17, 2023This exhibition of the unsettling, uncategorisable work of American artist Lutz Bacher (1943–2019) explores her use of music, sound and voice. Bacher’s work oscillates between the conceptual and the visceral.
