Sergei Rozhnov (b. 1978) is a Hong Kong-based contemporary artist. He completed and specialised in Monument Painting at the Imperial Academy of Arts, St. Petersburg and graduated with first-class honours. His classical training has since allowed him to create an especially unique contemporary art practice.

​

Rozhnov grew up playing volleyball in a semi-professional team where he has always juxtaposing in art and sport. This child/teen-hood experience triggered his initial inspiration to intertwine art and sport in his creative process. In the search of colours and energetic images, Rozhnov produced the Evolution series — It is a worldwide documentary of both amateur and professional athletes. Rozhnov wants to reveal the character of the players through their physical intensity and psychological emotion during the action. He believes sport truly expresses the beauty and power of human being. He transforms this observation into artistic energy on his canvas and fully presents this irresistible mechanism.  

​

Rozhnov combines hyperrealism and abstraction in his latest series, The Metamorphosis, where he uses silicone as the main material in his paintings. He aims to create an uncanny feeling that allows one to be aware of current life. The emergence of ink and silicone resemble the transformation of our society that is gradually mutating into the posthuman. It is a reality that we are currently living in a techno-scientific world and one cannot detach from it.  

​

Rozhnov was a member of Monumental Painting Bureau at St. Petersburg in 2014 and his work has been exhibited in various institutions including , Ærø Kunsthal, Californian Museum of Fine Arts and Yantai Art Museum, etc.
