PROLOGUE
Toujours emprunt d’une énergie qu’il puise dans ses racines graffiti, Alex
Kuznetsov abandonne ici ses bombes de peintures pour une technique plus
raffinée, moins vaporeuse. La peinture acrylique étalée délicatement au
couteau, fusionnée dans un nuancier de couleurs très large, laisse deviner
une évidente sensibilité de Kuznetsov pour une calligraphie réinterprétée.
Instinctivement, c’est vers une abstraction la plus résolue que l’artiste s’est
désormais engagé : “N’essayez pas de trouver les images” nous conseille-
t’il. Au spectateur le plus averti, il propose ainsi de se plonger dans la
matière, texturisée, empâtée, mais aussi dans la couleur, savamment
élaborée, et de saisir dans cet ensemble toute une palette d’émotions. La
peinture d’Alex Kuznetsov obsède par ce délicat dynamisme, par cette
maîtrise absolue des reliefs et des profondeurs. Assurément, l’artiste
considère le procédé au même titre que le résultat, à la fois fondamental
et signifiant.
Détaché de toute référence à la réalité, le travail d’Alex Kuznetsov
offre une nouvelle dimension esthétique qui invite à la contemplation, la
méditation. Avec “Visual Attractions”, Alex Kuznetsov s’affirme dans une
démarche de recherche permanente d’un équilibre parfait reposant sur
une savante équation entre la composition, les couleurs, la matière et bien
sûr le mouvement, clé de voûte de son entière production.

STATEMENT
Alex Kuznetsov put’s aside his spray paints for a more sophisticated
and less vaporous technique. Acrylic paint is softly spread with tools,
the works now becomes a wide chart of colours. It seems obvious thats
Kuznetsov’s sensibility for calligraphy which comes from his graffiti
background and is visible in this new series. Instinctively, it is towards a
more resolute abstraction that the artist is now engaged and tells us: «do
not try to find any images» there are none and suggests us to look deeper
into the texturised, thickened, colourful and skilfully mixed pallet of his
feelings. Kuznetsov paintings are obsessed by delicate dynamism with a
total control on the canvas reliefs and depths. Undoubtedly, the artist
considers the process in the same way as the result, at the same time
fundamental and significant.
Without any reference to the reality, the work of Alex Kuznetsov offers
a new aesthetic dimension which invites us into contemplation and medi-
tation. With «Visual Attractions», Alex Kuznetsov asserts himself in an
approach of permanent research for a perfect based on a scholar equation
between the composition, the colours, the material and of course the
movement, keystone of its whole production.

STUDIOMOSCOW, 2012-2015
22 | studio
Artist’s studio based close to the city centre at the former 19th centu-
ry beer factory, half abandoned and in ruins for the last ten years. Two
floors of a rye drying chamber, now used as a living and working space
and just behind the wall to the oldest and most famous night clubs in
Moscow. A mixture of luxury, seduction and destruction, noisy week-
ends and emptiness in all other days. Shadows and lights melted in
colors.
