Alexander Dashevsky, "Pulkovo heights", 90 x 60 cm, oil on canvas, 2007


Alexander Dashevsky can safely hang the label of "young and promising author. The energetic and fruitful work it is well deserved. Dashevsky was born in 1980 in Leningrad. He graduated from the economic faculty of St. Petersburg University of Cinema and Television, and then studied at the art faculty at the Institute of painting, sculpture and architecture named after Repin. Painting Dashevsky studied with artist Mikhail Ivanov. By the way, Mikhail Ivanov, during his school years to the victim for "formalism", had to settle for the same the art history Department of the Repin Institute.
It is important to mention the friendship of Alexander Dashevsky with the "Society of lovers of painting and drawing", consisting of artists, friends of the group "Mitki" and "New artists". Society practicing plein air and fights with postmodernism for traditional artistic values. But as you know, "Mitka nobody wants to win". Decent types are searched in Norilsk, Krasnoyarsk, and in the case of Dashevsky - and on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.
First of all, Alexander Dashevsky is famous for its series of "real Estate" in which he continues the naturalistic tradition of the city of St. Petersburg, but continues with a completely different, fresh and entertaining. Scale of the St. Petersburg series "real Estate" for there is no colorful characters, nor dirty yellow yards-wells, or pastel watercolor sentimental landscapes. It all degenerated into a tourist attraction, and the town finally became interested in the Soviet avant-garde architecture. Dashevsky, downright ahead of time, becoming a singer even more concise architecture. Finally found the artist, have admired concrete "point" and examine the graphical beauty of homes-ships. All marginal becomes the norm: it originated as aesthetics notorious yards-wells. It is probably time to canonize and these buildings. You can blame Dashevsky "formalism" and the mockery, but you can be glad that there is a new look at what are called "ugly", "gray" and "monotonous".
