SERGEI ISUPOV

ANDROGENY

The Androgyny series of large-scale heads and busts, often with surrealistic features and complex facial expressions, began during a residency at Kecskemét, Hungary in 2008 and led to Isupov’s first solo exhibitions at Ferrin Gallery (Pittsfield, MA), Mesa Contemporary Arts Center (Mesa, AZ) and the Daum Museum of Art (Sedalia, MO) in 2009.

His latest work in the series Heritage is featured in dialog with select works from series in the artist’s archive in his latest solo exhibit at the
Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery (Keene State College, NH) in 2023.

Select pieces from Androgyny remain in the artist’s archive for use in contemporary installations as well as available for collections and client acquisitions.
