Timur Fork (b. 1986) is a Moscow-based artist who emerged from the Russian graffiti movement of the early 2000s, becoming known for character-driven street works across Moscow, Barcelona, Paris and Osaka. A pivotal injury in 2017 prompted a shift from walls to canvas, transforming his street language into a distinctive studio practice.
He is the founder of ‘plasticine realism’ — hyperrealistic paintings that mimic hand-moulded plasticine, fusing childhood nostalgia with technical precision and three-dimensional illusion. Balancing irony, colour and dynamism, Fork creates works that are playful yet profound, bridging street culture and contemporary art through a universal visual language.
