Victoria Goro-Rapoport is a native of Moscow, Russia and holds Masters degrees in both set design and printmaking. She has shown extensively both nationally and internationally. Her work is in public and private collections throughout the world including the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Denton, Texas, Egyptian Ministry of Culture and the Chingqing Art Fund in Beijing, China. Since 2004, Goro-Rapoport has taught drawing and printmaking at the University of Nebraska-Kearney. In her work, the muscular revolutionary fighters of her childhood USSR are broken down, enduring an existence on an earth crumbling under their feet. She employs photographic and digitally produced imagery alongside the time-honored process of intaglio. By mixing the old and the new in both concept and process, she speaks to the tensions between the powerful, crumbling world of tradition and the maverick, often reckless, forces of innovation.
