Nikita Dusto (b. 1991, Kirishi) — artist, lives and works in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He is a member of the St. Petersburg creative association 10.203: a group of like-minded urban contemporary artists organizes exhibitions and projects in their own studio and at other venues.
Dusto’s interest in art began at a young age when he went to a local art school. Since 2006, he has been actively doing graffiti. His street background has definitely influenced the shaping of Nikita’s individual style in studio work. Now he continues to do graffiti, and also experiments with new forms and directions, creating easel works, installations and sculptures and participating in street projects. The artist notes that the picture for him is not primarily an object, but a narrative tool which he can use to tell something to the viewer.
Nikita Dusto’s works are in the collections of the Ruarts Foundation, Sergey Kuryokhin Center for Modern Art, and also in private collections.
