Alexei Gordin (1989) studied painting in Tallinn and Helsinki and currently lives and works in Tallinn. Although he has a background as a painter, Gordin fluently uses different media and works with drawing, photography, video, and performance. The main subject matter of his artistic practice is absurdly stereotypical thinking and behaviour patterns of contemporary society. Gordin’s works are almost always narrative and often cover exciting or annoying situations. Alexei Gordin likes to wander the wastelands, find abandoned buildings, neighbourhoods and cities. These places often end up in his paintings and are the scene of almost all his video works. In 2017 Alexei Gordin was awarded the Young Painters’ Prize in Vilnius.
