Arthur Molev

Arthur was born in 1969 in Leningrad. In 1996, he graduated from the Leningrad Vera Mukhina Higher School of Art and Design.

A loyal student of Anatoliy Zaslavsky, Molev further elaborated the concepts of the St. Petersburg Expressionism by adding to them a very personal naïve touch. Indeed, his angular, ostensibly amateurish characters and animal outlines resemble rock paintings and schoolboy doodles. Arthur Molev’s multifaceted creative practice comprises painting and poetry, animation and music: for a number of years, he collaborated with the prominent Auktyon band as their principal set designer.
