Search results for 'Alexey Lantsev' at the museum of art

Painter Alexei Lantsev, a graduate of Moscow's Surikov School of Fine Arts, explores a wide range of subjects in abstract and semi-abstract painting styles. He was born in 1970 in the city of Krasnodar and has had more than 20 solo exhibitions in Russia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Hong Kong. “To paint, you have to close your eyes and sing,” Picasso once said. It seems that when Alexei Lantsev paints his pictures, he not only sings, but at the same time performs a real dance with a brush, giving in to an impulse that drives him from within. All his compositions essentially consist of a combination of a graceful line with sonorous color spots, which are distributed as if intuitively over the entire surface of the sheet. The guiding theme of Alexei Lantsev's work is always the search for a balance between logic and feeling, be it abstraction, landscape or figurative art. The echo of Matisse's distant song, the melody of Lantsev's painting undoubtedly testifies to the joy of life. The harmonious compositions in contrasting colors invite a silent attempt to hear your mysterious inner symphony while finding the area where the words end and the music begins.
