Alexander Kazakov
b. 1961
Alexander Kazakov is a Postwar & Contemporary artist, based in Russia, whose work has spread throughout the world and reached audiences in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Israel, Switzerland, Greece, Sweden, New Zealand, Latvia, Georgia, Estonia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Nepal, and Madagascar. Kazakov, who studied at the Pirogov Second Moscow State Medical Institute, utilizes vivacious colors and lively shapes in his pieces – and seamlessly transitions between geometric perfection and the fluidity of forms. Kazakov's vibrant and striking oil paintings are replete with precision, his drawings celebrate movement and curvature, and some works are a kinesiological blend of the two aesthetics.
Kazakov's work has been published in books, magazines, and catalogues – and featured in numerous exhibitions from 1994 to the present (including a permanent exhibition at the Central Design Bureau of the Russian Academy of Sciences; participation in Non-Objective Art, the international exhibition of Russian artists in New York; and participation in the World Premiere of Re-Conceptualism, the international exhibition). Kazakov is a Member of the International Federation of Artists and of Russia's Creative Union of Artists. His works can be found in the All-Russian Museum of Applied, Decorative and Folk Arts, as well as in the private collections of prominent connoisseurs.
