Alexander Fedorov

about the artist

Alexander Fyodorov was born in Leningrad in 1954. The artist currently lives and works in St. Petersburg.

Fyodorov’s inimitable trademark style reflects the duality of his talents, blending creative aspirations with engineering science leanings. His characters are at once realistic and imaginary, surrounded by a pointedly surreal airless setting. The artist seems to analyse every object, taking it into pieces and attempting to unravel its structure. Although the exquisite delicacy of his painting style verges on the decorative, the contemplation of each filigree image is akin to an intellectual game. Mystery and ambiguity, symbolism and associations woven into every scene entice the viewers, prompting them to look for hidden meanings and allusions behind the visuals.
