Born in 1988, Moscow. Started painting together in 2009, after the elder brother gave them a “beginning artist” set at their Birthday party. Tvorogov twin brothers use anthropomorphic characters as a symbol of connection between an adult and a child, a modern human and a primitive. Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human
characteristics or behaviour to God, an animal, or an object. This concept is one of sustainable archaic cultural codes which finds expression in myths, fairy tales, fables,
cartoons, games and toys. 

Tvorogov Brothers invite viewers to interact with their work by first looking within themselves at their own propensity for creating meaning towards things. The artists’ fixation on the connection between anthropomorphisms and psychic energy is apparent within this body of work. The connection between Tvorogovs’ art and the individual can only be made if observers are prepared to ask questions internally and look inwards to find answers. The process of attaching meanings and emotions towards
tangible objects creates a psychic energy which is one of the key methods of understanding knowledge. For the Tvorogov brothers, this energy essentially brings
“life” to their work. Each interaction, involvement and engagement with their artwork is unique, subjective and cannot be generalised. The consciousness of the viewer itself gives their images personal characteristics, which the artists would say, humanises
them.
