Arty. Linocuts by Alexey Pushkarev

Artist and printmaker Alexey Pushkarev came to Melbourne from Moscow during the coronavirus pandemic and started his life in Australia in a quarantine hotel. He says he quickly found his own community of linocut artists. In this podcast, Alexey talks about working with linoleum, a process he compares to meditation, “an intimate dialogue between the artist and the material.”
