==Biography==
Evgeny Semyonov was born in Pervouralsk, Sverdlovsk region, in 1960 and started art school in 1968. A young and talented student, he was fascinated by sculpture and sent some of his first art works to the admissions at the Moscow Central Art School at the Russian Academy of Arts (previously called the Moscow Academic Art Lyceum of the Russian Academy of Arts). In 1972, his family decided to move to Moscow to allow the young artist to continue his professional education.

==Work==
As one of the Moscow Conceptualists, Evgeny Semyonov continued the discourse started by the Moscow Romantic Conceptualism movement in the late 1960s. He graduated from the Moscow Central Art School in 1978 and later studied at the Film Direction Department of The Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK). He created his first art works in the early 1980s. He started exhibiting in Moscow and then in New York in 1988. Semyonov's works are always richly intertwined with his personal mythology. His thinking is rooted in the language of signs and symbols. And in this context, he thinks of a visual as a piece of text. His biography is filled with various artistic practices in the Art About Art category, which makes sense considering his interest and experience in art history and collecting. Evgeny Semenov often works with the so-called low-brow art bordering on kitsch, as well as book illustrations and children's toys. The artist mixes conceptualism with figurative painting. His works stay with the viewer after the first glance. In the wider context of contemporary art, his name is associated with Psychedelic Realism.
The artist's works are featured in the permanent collections of many museums around the globe including:
* The State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow, Russia)
* The State Russian Museum (Saint Petersburg, Russia)
* The National Center for Contemporary Art (NCCA, Moscow, Russia)
* The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow)
* The Perm Museum of Contemporary Art (Perm, Russia)
* The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, USA)
* The Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection, Rutgers University (New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA)
* The Museum of Applied Arts (Vienna, Austria)
