Originally from Queensland, Alexander Ouchtomsky is a recent graduate from RMIT's Fine Arts (Painting) course. Alexander has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Melbourne including Skin and Bones in 2008 and 2009 (Penthouse Mouse, BUS Projects), Zero & Not (45 Downstairs), Canadian Pharmacy (Neon Parc) and the Sustainable Living Festival in 2009 and 2010.
Battle Toad, 2009, mixed media
Alexander Ouchtomsky's work is constructed by a means of collecting and hoarding various different plastics, organic matter, toys, sports equipment and helmets. By piecing together these various two dimensional and three dimensional examples of western consumer waste either by collage or construction, his work draws connections between the forgotten histories of suburban waste and the possible potential of these objects as lost segments of an imagined civilisation.
For Insert Coin Here, Alexander has created a special series of small sculptures, of which several of pictured below:
Dracunculiasis reign supreme, 2010, found plastics
Hibiscus happy meal, 2010, found plastics
Lobster and triceratops headdress for flamboyant storm trooper, 2010, found plastics
Paramite, 2010, found plastics
Toxo, 2010, found plastics
