About the author
Yuri Kuper (born 1940)
Yuri Kuper’s work is profoundly linked to time, the passage of time and the marks it leaves on things. He is a member of the Mémoires group, a group of artists formed in the late 1990s. His objects, and the space in which he places them, are weathered, stained and eroded in shades of rusty ochre or ashen black-gray. In them is concentrated the memory of the past, of their lives. Kuper captures the soul of things with great delicacy and sensitivity.
