Syoma Bomse
Born in 1994, Nizhny Novgorod. Member of Bomse crew. Lives and works in Nizhny Novgorod. According to Syoma, during his school years he wanted to enroll in an art school, but his parents sent him to study music instead. In 2006, under the influence of street subcultures and music, he discovered graffiti. In 2013, together with members of the Bomse graffiti team, he began actively working in the streets. Around the same time, he became interested in punk culture, whose music, style, and ideas significantly influenced his artistic development. He occasionally performs as a vocalist in performances. Today, Syoma Bomse primarily works with painting and drawing, using found materials and experimenting with techniques. His subjects are often imbued with mysticism, addressing themes of vice, faith, love, and friendship. His artistic practice has been influenced by the aesthetics of Art Brut, neo-primitivism, punk, and various forms of marginal art.
