Konstantin Bokov is a self-taught Ukrainian-American multimedia and outsider artist known for creating expressive paintings, collages, and street sculptures using found and discarded materials. He transitioned from music to visual art before emigrating to New York in the 1970s.

Bokov became a fixture in the East Village art scene and was associated with the Rivington School of avant-garde artists. His work blends elements of impressionism, folk art, and assemblage, often featuring recycled objects and urban themes. His artistic philosophy embraces public, accessible art, transforming trash into vibrant social commentary.
