Viktor Kobylianski (b. 1995) is a Ukrainian-born artist based in the United States. He works with materials commonly associated with construction, including mineral dust, cement slurries, pigments, and sand applied to raw fabric, with the image formed through imprinted residue after removal. His practice is process-driven and subtractive. Applied directly by hand, he establishes conditions in which the materials cure, settle, and imprint, allowing their behavior to determine the final residue embedded within the surface. Individual surfaces are often stitched together, assembling separate fragments into a single work. Removed from their functional role, these materials shift from utility to memory. Positioned between object and surface, presence and absence, the work invites slow looking and operates as a physical record rather than an image.
