Yuri, Image Profile 2025
In the evolving landscape of digital art, few voices articulate the tension between motion and stillness with the clarity of Yuri. Their practice operates at a threshold between gesture and glitch, between painterly intuition and procedural layering. Through a visual language rooted in Photoshop, Yuri constructs compositional worlds that echo the traditions of tactile painting while actively destabilizing the certainties those traditions usually reinforce.
At the core of this work lies a pursuit of narrative through texture. Rather than illustrating a scene, Yuri assembles surfaces. Each fragment is charged with intentional contradiction. There is a childlike logic running through the work. It is not naive. It is radical. Chaos follows its own grammar. In Groceries getting closer, for example, velocity becomes a visual device. Movement is not shown through blur but through accumulation. Each element feels caught in orbit, always approaching without conclusion.
Lost in a Desert, Thoreau in the forest (throwing his mushrooms away), Groceries getting closer
Lost in a desert treats repetition as disorientation. Its twelve editions do not clarify the motif. They fragment it. The desert becomes a behavioral space where figures dissolve mid-transition and texture activates memory. In Thoreau in the forest (throwing his mushrooms away), absurdity merges with structure through a kind of tactical mischief. A romantic escape becomes an interrupted gesture.
Throughout the release, the bicycle recurs. Sometimes visible. Sometimes implied. It functions as a stand-in for control within a system that resists direction. For Yuri, movement is never linear. It loops. It punctuates. It stays present even in apparent stillness.
This release within the ART MARKET Curated Program provides a structure for reading Yuri’s practice through coherence and friction. These works form a resonant sequence. Each piece offers a specific entry point into a dense compositional logic. For the collector, this is not an image to acquire. It is a system to enter. Meaning is not given. It emerges through tension.
In a moment when digital art often compresses itself into immediacy, Yuri’s surfaces remain open. They ripple, shift, and complicate. And in that resistance, they preserve the possibility for digital art to act as a critical and living space.
