The Society of Young Artists (Russian: ОБМОХУ; Общество Молодых Художников) (OBMOKhU) was a collective of artists in revolutionary Russia. They experimented with spatial constructions and the properties of industrial materials. The group existed 1919-22.[1]

Following the Russian Revolution art education was reorganised through the establishment of svomas. The Stroganov School for Technical Drawing became the First Free State Art Workshops.[2] However, by the summer 1919, the mass mobilisation for the Red Army currently involved in the Russian Civil War led to students graduating from the workshops joining up.[2] However Georgiy Echeistov remained at the Workshops and joined the leaderless workshop first organised by Boris Grigoriev in September 1919.
