clock

winter as a solid reminder
otherwise our arrogance
will destroy everything
as usual
even our hopes are damaging
each breath burns calories
draw with moreish grey
I will listen
but it will cost you

– Krišjānis Zeļģis

Victor Gogly (b. 1994 in France) lives and works in Vantaa, Finland. He is a graduate of the École Supérieure d’Art et Design Le Havre-Rouen (2019). Within his work, Gogly endeavors to capture both the textural and immaterial transitions between human, non-human, and animal relationships to one another and our world. On painted canvas as well as through collage and sculpture, Gogly’s beings transform and interact with one another within spectral spaces where physical boundaries are obfuscated, and mankind’s relationship with nature is re-examined, offering the possibility for change.

He has presented his work in group exhibitions at SIC space, Helsinki (2024), DS Galerie, Paris (2025), CAC Bretigny, FR (2023), Pitted Dates, Helsinki (2023), Beaux-Arts, Paris (2022), and Jardin du Crépuscule, Montréal (2021). Gogly has also participated in several online exhibitions curated by Underground Flowers, Dharma Initiative, Church, and Solo
Show.
