Andrei Volkov. Saving Time
Exhibition July 19 − August 27, 2018
In the Russian Museum there is an exhibition of the modern artist Andrei Aleksandrovich Volkov "Saving Time".
Forty-nine paintings and drawings from different series and cycles of the artist, created in the period from 2010 to 2018, can be seen in the halls of the Marble Palace.
Andrei Volkov successfully continues the dynasty of Volkov-artists, to which belong his father Alexander and uncle Valery Volkovy. An outstanding Russian painter of the first half of the 20th century, Alexander Nikolaevich Volkov, the author of the famous painting "Pomegranate Chaykhana" (1924) from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery became the ancestor of the famous art dynasty.
Andrei Volkov was and still is today one of the most consistent representatives of radical abstraction among Russian artists, although his early works refer to figurative painting. Picturesque and graphic compositions of Volkov, differ materiality of color and textural individuality, are based on the comparison of depth and plane, dynamics and statics, the space of the picture and the space of life reflected in it.
The artist's works invite the viewer to interact, to a visual dialogue, in the process of which a new experience of liberation from the habitual reality is acquired, and contact with the reality of abstract art.
