Ivan Terestchenko
Sculpteur
Ivan Terestchenko was born in London in 1958.
A Franco-British photographer, having started his career as a painter, he published his first photographs in Vogue magazine in 1989, quickly followed by collaborations with numerous magazines around the world, including the renowned The World of Interiors.
Over the years, Ivan Terestchenko has photographed the homes of numerous figures from the worlds of art and fashion. In 2009, a year after the death of Yves Saint Laurent, he photographed the homes of the fashion designer and Pierre Bergé for Robert Murphy’s book « Les Paradis secrets d’Yves Saint Laurent et de Pierre Bergé ».
In 2013, the book *Intérieurs Couture* offered a glimpse into the private lives of the world’s leading fashion designers.
For his third exhibition at the Galerie du Passage, Ivan Terestchenko continues his journey to the origins of myth.
After the humour of his ancient surfers and the raw power of his Etruscan-inspired terracotta sculptures, the artist has set up his studio overlooking the sea.
This new exhibition showcases tempera painting, in which Greek deities and schools of fish come to life amidst a timeless play of colours.
This marine bestiary steps out of the canvases to take up residence on a series of original decorative objects, creating a fluid dialogue between visual art and ornamentation.
From Tuscany to the Mediterranean, Terestchenko continues to reinterpret antiquity with modern elegance and radiant poetry.
Current exhibition: Ivan Terestchenko – Paintings & Ceramics: ‘Aqua, Astra, Anima’, 18 March – 25 April 2026.
