A nostalgic russian hip hop artist.
About Fyodor Oralov is a young artist performs under the pseudonym i61 (ISIKSWAN, iSIXONE, I SICK SWAN // A Sick Swan). i61 is the concept and the quintessence of a superman, whose desire to cognize the unknowable is inseparable from modern culture. i61’s art is not limited to one media, his creative hunger is tireless: graphics and painting, poetry and music, digital and video, 2D and 3D animation are equally attractive to him. Artist's syncretic art shows that nothing is impossible, development is not just necessary, it is inevitable. As an artist, i61 gets his inspiration in the possibility of time travel with the help of music and audiovisual art. Inspired by the aesthetics of the 80s, he integrates this era of creative "Renaissance" into modern hip-hop. The versatility of the 80s, that shaped the way of life then, is superimposed on the processes taking place in the first decades the 21st century, creating a complex and strong interweaving, obtaining a unique sound in the art of i61. It is not limited by space and time, forms of expression or the framework of habitual perception. Each artist's release opens up a multiverse, whose characters become milestones in the i61's travels.
