Moving away from tradition in an experiment in search - that's creative credo Alexei Konstantinov. All his life he resisted the conventional wisdom in the art. Obsessed with the faith and the constant search allows this lonely, but passionate and devoted artist to redo the world, at least on canvas, his will as he had represented him in the inner sensation. Birth of the work is for him a kind act of creation. Maybe so every job nurtured them indefinitely.
Konstantinov refused from Russia for 1960-70-s visual language of painting, because his inner feelings and concepts did not fit this form of expression. Artist's own attitude more consistent geometric-constructive start. Non-objectivity regarded them as the essence of universal concepts.
Find a method of constructing a plastic space was not only through their own searching, but also through the development achievements of avant-garde. There is no doubt that a particular understanding of expression lines, spots of color, geometric forms and decorative paintings integrity Konstantinov was required familiarity with the course of the 20 th century such as Cubism, Fauvism, Constructivism. It is this way of thinking, giving the figurative semantic interpretation common philosophical concept, turned out to be consonant with Konstantinov and defined career artist. This process was quite conscious and rational. He was allowed to attach composition the absolute and unqualified sense. That sense, that is higher than the meaning of real, objective world.
While his plastic language, in fact, was not the invention of art, but it was a revelation in a fairly uncompromising atmosphere of Soviet Art 1960's - early 1980's. His paintings rarely appearing on the show, although elected for works topics were very traditional. However, solved in a different vein, fine, they taught analytical vision, opened a new view of the world, as a result of creating another form of thinking.
Creativity Alexei Konstantinov - is an autonomous art world with his plastic logic, a kind of reflection on the universal level non-objective forms.

Why do not praise, not complain. Virtually no attention.
    And this in fact is a true artist, and his fate and the quality of created works. Konstantinov did not work against one of his convictions, is not it act? Live your life without the possibility of
earnings and constantly search for and discover new horizons.
Look at the work. It's a level of skill is not regional scale. The legacy of the artist contains about 300 works of painting and graphics. I need to find a good room and people who understand and stakeholders. We have started negotiations with the Russian Museum.
I would like to hear forumchan, where these pictures would have to court? Who knows what?

nikola, but I somehow missed. Here today and saw.
Examine more closely.

A more complete site http://www.ural-collection.ru/

What was of the view?

nikola, very interesting, of course.
I looked at your site, there are listed equipment sizes.
I agree with you.
But this is something and not scary.
But the 300 works selected for exhibition ...
Although, for the same site you have selected 67 works.
I confess, I from 3.4 work very much.
What else?
I wish you success in this interesting case!

Continue the conversation. Which. It is interesting to know just how and to what audiences react. Thanks in advance.

nikola, from the numbers: 26, 27, 47, 60, 61, 62, 64 and, especially, 39.

Yes, this is the most expressive work. To this list you can add a few more works. 37 and 41 are very good. I really look at the artist as a whole.
In the '80s, composites finds Dmitri Bisti, Gury Zakharov, Minas Avetisyan, and some other artists seemed incredibly brave. Sometimes it was breathtaking. A Konstantinov for me and now incredibly rare on the skill and depth.

I'm already "spoiled" dealership. I looked involuntarily at this angle. Well, often, so to speak. :)

Is a terrible thing. I have myself noticed. Began to invest in the exhibition, in the printing of booklets. Spending overlap profits, or rather, no profit. Need money for new projects. You begin to think that to sell. Look at pictures of eyes Vasya Pupkin, Vasya buy or not. The most contrary, those works are loved and valued, relegated to the corner as not suitable. Worldview is changing, and not for the better. A middle ground here.
I already wrote, "I can see only what I know"
Therefore, the gap in Vasin education about fine art, is reflected in the form of large blisters in your head.
I like not very clear why react poorly to no substantive art (the same Konstantinov). The artist is a person who inflicts his (I emphasize their) thoughts with a brush to canvas. In this aspect, I wonder what the artist thought that he wanted to say?. And the external form in this case does not matter. Everything should be based on one to write laws for the plastic arts. Therefore, the main component of the beauty of the artwork is always and everywhere been the movement of the brush, then there is a song - formal. And if the viewer does not see the beautiful in the abstract, I do not understand that his real-dazzle.
The artist must engage in creativity, and beautiful thing here is creativity itself.

In reality how many times they see something real, that are accustomed to see in life.
And in the abstraction that you can see?
You can see and guess, but what the artist wanted to say? And so and left without an answer!
My opinion may be conservative, excuse me, this really is.
So in the first row of the more understandable than in the non-objective.
It also plays a form with color. This is beautiful, in my opinion.

In my opinion, if the artist paints such an abstraction, so he does not understand what it is and for what.
Rather paid tribute to the fashion-objective art.
A fashion is changeable!

  I wrote, "I can see only what I know, you'll need to think over these words.
Impressionists meatball is not received, not by what was not routinely drawn,
and by the fact that this is not perceived color harmony. Just did not see the new colors, knowledge were different. is all from the psychology of perception. To undertake such scientific experience, in the Australian tribe showed black-and-white photos of local animals. Aborigines did not see the image, for them it was just gray pyatna.Mozg they had no information that the two-dimensional sheet you can see three-dimensional image.
And what about the most abstract of the arts - music? Think without music education can be perceived correctly and completely? No.
All will be at a level like or dislike. Only a musician, he heard some sort of short loss, can be seen in its innovative, new sounds, new idea.

Unfortunately fashion followed by most artists of all directions.
Everywhere there are good and bad. This bread can be assessed - fresh or not fresh, the art a lot of criteria defining dignity
work. I accept all art, all directions, all the "isms" the main thing it should be interesting figurative.
As I can not help loving Konstantinova, if I am since 1983 in the course of events, exhibitions taking place in the country and for rubezhom.Konstantinov-a rare example of good. Energy in the paintings of positive because the life of the artist's beautiful.
Sometimes you look like a masterfully done, but seen from the picture that the artist was drunk or sold, and I do not want to look at the picture for a long time. Clean air in it.
