Viktor Goppe, born in 1962, is an artist specialized in wood carving and sculpture modeling. Inspired by the poetry of Latvian authors, Goppe began publishing their creative volumes of books, establishing the “Publishing House of Viktor Goppe” in 1986. The artist considered the constructivist Solomon Telingater as his teacher. For his works it is important to understand that Goppe did not come of age in the stagnant cultural environment of the Soviet Union. Instead he belongs to a new generation that is the product of the excitingly diverse time of perestroika and the 1990s. Goppe got involved in the art of the Moscow literary conceptualism. The books by Goppe are not only a chapter in contemporary Russian art but also in contemporary Russian literature.
