Bio

Born in 1994 in Moscow, works since 2018. The art sarcastically plays on the phenomena and philosophy of modernity. It often focuses on the most odious manifestations: the police state, authoritarianism, propaganda, and the suppression of freedoms. Colonel Royce's work, however, is not limited to these themes: it encompasses what we can see, feel and think in the center of the unfolding flywheel of post-industrial civilization.
