Works: 4

Timur Safarov (born 1986) is a street artist from Moscow. He draws under the pseudonym Fork.

Active participant in the graffiti movement in Russia since the early 2000s. Participant in many graffiti and street art festivals, including international ones, such as Write4Gold (2004-2011), Just Write My Name (2014), “Secret Walls x Moscow” Faces & Laces (2015), Urbanmorphogenesis ( “Cultural code”, 2022), IV Biennale of street art ARTMOSSPHERE (2023). From the very beginning of drawing graffiti, Timur gave preference not to fonts, but to the image of characters. Many of them were captured on the streets of Moscow, Barcelona, ​​Paris and other European cities, also in Osaka, Japan. In 2017, he rethinks his creation, begins to experiment with forms and new techniques, transferring his street background to canvases. From 2018 to the end of 2020, he lived in Spain, in Barcelona, ​​where he painted extensively and participated in design projects. Currently lives and works in Moscow, actively paints in his studio, continuing to develop his own style.

One of the latest influences in Timur’s work is an increasingly frequent departure from figurative art towards abstractions and experiments with new visual aesthetics, during which a series of his works in the style called “plasticine realism” was born. The idea of ​​​​the most realistic depiction of compositions made of plasticine was first realized by Timur in 2021 in the work “Plasticine Wolf,” which marked the beginning of his work in a new author’s style.

In his works, Timur tries to convey his perception of reality with humor and cheerfulness, trying to show his vision and attitude to what is happening through the prism of irony and positivity.

According to the artist, art does not have to burden the viewer and call for reflection on complex concepts. Joy is not a superficial feeling, but a deep one, the artist is convinced, and that’s why he tries to reflect it in each of his works.

In each of Timur’s works, dynamics, tension, and color intensity are observed to convey a cheerful joy that goes beyond the boundaries of the canvas or mural, which should spread and embrace the entire space, sending its impulse into it.
