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.

From the booklet Nizhny Tagil Museum of Fine Arts in 1999.

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?
