Roman Casus was born in 1987. He lives and works in Moscow.
In 2018–19, he studied at the School of Contemporary Art "Free Workshops" in the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. In 2018 he received an American Art Award in the category "Political commentary".
Roman was a web designer for many years prior to 2017 when he started painting. Unlike the traditional painters, he doesn't use studios set ups. All images taken from the digital environment: social media, broadcast services, newsfeed. These frozen images contain defects, somеtimes their resolution is low, so he has to figure out what is hidden there while creating painting. Characters and objects bear the imprint of reality. But the truncation of shapes, color distortion, and deformation make it almost impossible to interpret what is happening. Roman captures the moment of self-representation and contact with anonymous viewer.
