Aljoscha (Ukrainian: Альоша, romanized: Alosha; 1974 in Lozova, USSR, now Ukraine), born Oleksii Potupin (Ukrainian: Олексій Потупін), is a Ukrainian[1] visual artist known for large scale conceptual installations, sculptures, interventions, paintings and drawings based on ideas of bioism,[2][3] biofuturism,[4] bioethics and bioethical abolitionism.
Beyond the new aesthetics of bioism,[5] his prioritized bioethical and philosophical ideas are the eradication of suffering and the paradise engineering.[6]
He studied 2001-2002 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Germany (class of Prof. Konrad Klapheck) as well as 2006 at the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg, Austria (class of Shirin Neshat).
