Biography
Paul Sergounine is a contemporary artist currently based in Tbilisi, Georgia. Working primarily with oil stick and oil pastel on acrylic ground on canvas, Sergounine develops large-scale paintings through systems of accumulation, interruption, structural imbalance, and controlled reduction. His practice focuses on the tension between order and instability, constructing visual languages that operate between architecture, abstraction, and symbolic fragmentation. Recurring bodies of work such as Mind Mechanics and Totems are conceived as evolving systems rather than isolated images. Through repetition, compression, erosion, and interference, Sergounine investigates how structures emerge, destabilize, and reconstruct themselves over time.Born in Moscow and raised in Düsseldorf, Sergounine’s international background and cross-disciplinary experience inform a practice centered around pressure, displacement, and systemic transformation. His works are held in private collections internationally.
