Solo Show "Metalism" by Russian artist Alex Kuznetsov @ MSK Eastside Gallery / Moscow, Russia

"Metalism" - new works on canvas and paper -

Kuznetsov demonstrates that there is no need for letters or characters to affect the viewer and start a dialogue. For him, he convinces us of this with the power of abstract painting. And it works can you feel the energy of the gesture? The expression of his body in action? The way he explores, controls the surface, and lets the colors cross over each other? It is wonderful to see the many expressions of spray paint on canvas."

Discovering tones of pure pigments and their combinations, artist Alex Kuznetsov found something similar in his inner feelings. Achieving shapes with layers of acrylic he makes his own definition in the language of colors.

Can you feel the energy of the gesture? The expression of his body in action? The way he explores, controls the sur- face, and lets the colors cross over each other.

Recently, his communication through his abstract action painting aesthetics is with more tranquillity in his dialogue emphasized by bigger gestural strokes and more added volume of paint, mainly black, blue, and bursts of yellow and red on metallic backgrounds of gold and silver.

Steering away from his earlier work, Kuznetsov presses further into the abstract without the need for figurative formation, but instead pressing deeper into the dialogue of color, shape and form. Kuznetsov’s motivation are a direct 'feeling to movement' process in the studio. For him this re- fined technique is just a means of arriving at a statement, shape and form, a concise dialogue of motional feeling for a canvas to bear witness.
