Born in the industrial city of Donetsk in 1961, Andrei Protsouk demonstrated an exceptional gift for art from a young age. He attended the prestigious Lugansk School of Fine Art, followed by a Masters Degree at the Ilya Repin Leningrad Institute, studying under Evsey Moiseenko — a world renowned contemporary of Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso. Protsouk graduated top of his class, awarded both the Lenin's Student Stipend and the coveted Red Diploma, and it was during these formative years that he began to refine his distinctive use of constructive line — the foundation of what he would later call his 'Fine Line' technique.

In 1994 Protsouk moved with his family to the US, where his paintings became more colourful and his subjects more joyful, often centring on the universal theme of love. Unafraid to work to large scales, his elaborate pieces burst with vibrant colours, intricate shapes and varied textures, drawing comparisons to the figurative works of Michaelangelo. Today Protsouk lives and works from his own studio and gallery in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania; his work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private collections worldwide. Generation Gallery is proud to bring his art to collectors across the UK.
