A. Alekseev-Svinkin – the founder of the style "fantastic realism", which is not scourges and not debunks life, but collects it in a brightly flashed the prism of today, shimmering with all facets of artistic imagination.
He is the most unpredictable of the Ekaterinburg artists - ever changing, always different, but always interesting in each of its "forms." Chilly quality photorealist, heartfelt lyrics, tightly-ironic artist of Sots art, the mysterious and the mysterious author of the mythological scenes and an energetic, bravura, expressive abstract and figurative paintings.
A special place in the works of A. Alekseev-Svinkin is a "Russian" theme. Here the artist is invariably ironic, even if in his field of view gets historical character, for example, Ivan the terrible ("Ivan the terrible with the Great cat," 1997). And the "nobles", "good kings", giant size "red girl" seem so Easter postcard that felt almost like the characters or symbols. There's an artist and "New Russian" (1997), where the characters are drinking champagne on the red square become the character of many anecdotes: full, smooth, neatly combed to the Lord in constant dark red business suit pairs.
The artist has created a cascade of luxurious, festive still life, where dazzling, defiant, massive fruit are symbols of life, spraying over the edge. Its famous pears and vases extremely sensitive and paradoxical in its self-centered, they often outgrow their line still life dead nature and often turn out to be alive, naked female torsos, but still not beyond the art of the script. His numerous genre canvases, usually smiling in his broadside the exaggeration and in an almost good-natured "kitchenette".
A. Alekseev-Svinkin tried in his work in new ways to display mythological and religious subjects ("Danae", 1978; "the last supper", 1980), with other criteria to approach life literary heroes ("don Quixote", 1980). A picture of the "collection point for glassware", "restaurant" (both 1984) – inspired by the time of critical realism in the spirit of journalism informal alternative to formal art movements of the period of "stagnation".
In General, the world of images A. Alekseeva-Svinkina is a world sometimes similar to a fantastic dream, however, the paintings make you think, empathize, showing a not the end, but a continuous process of thinking about life. A General property of the artist's paintings – their warmth, tender lyricism.
