Mikhail Vitalyevich Chuvakin (b. 1990). Guide of Eclipses. 2026. - Oil on paper. Relief print. Edition of 10. 86 × 61 cm. Mikhail Vitalyevich Chuvakin (born 1990, Bolshoy Kamen, Primorsky Krai) is a Russian artist and curator based in Vladivostok. He graduated from the Faculty of Psychology at the Far Eastern State University in Vladivostok. From 2012 to 2019, he founded and operated OTETZ, an independent screen-printing workshop that became a notable platform for contemporary graphic experimentation in the Russian Far East. Since 2020, he has worked as an exhibition technician and decorative artist at the V. K. Arsenyev Museum of the History of the Far East in Vladivostok. Chuvakin's artistic practice combines contemporary printmaking techniques with a strong interest in symbolism, visual narratives, and experimental graphic language. Working across editions, installations, and exhibition projects, he explores the relationship between personal mythology, collective memory, and the visual culture of contemporary society. In 2020, the Center for Contemporary Art ARTETAGE (Vladivostok) hosted his solo exhibition Fun Is Over. In 2021 and 2022, he served as both curator and participating artist of the graphic art exhibition Fun Is Over 2.0 in Vladivostok, and of the exhibition Atavistic at the ARKA Gallery. In 2022, he participated in the group exhibition She Was Beautiful Like a Russian Landscape at the PERMM Museum of Contemporary Art in Perm. Living and working in Vladivostok, Chuvakin represents a new generation of Far Eastern artists whose practice bridges independent graphic culture, contemporary exhibition-making, and experimental visual art.
