More about the contributor

Born in 1988 in Rakveres, Estonia. He received both his MA (2015) and BA (2009) degrees from the Sculpture and Installation Department of the Estonian Academy of Arts. In 2012 he started MA studies in the same department. During his studies, Sepsivart took additional courses in Finland – in Villu Jaanisoòs’ studio in 2009 and at the Helsinki University of Art in 2013-2014. The artist has participated in several street art festivals and published a book on street art together with Tõnis Palkov and Andres Siplane. In 2012, Uku Sepsivart was awarded the Young Artist Prize (by the non-profit organisation Noor Kunst and the Estonian Academy of Arts). In recent years, Sepsivart has turned to process art and opened up to nature-related themes. Sepsivart works together with animals, and new artworks emerge from these encounters. The results of his artworks open up new ways of thinking and offer new experiences in relation to the division of labour between animals and humans.
