Trifonov Alexandr – Dad

Alexander Trifonov is a Russian painter of the third generation of the Russian Avant-garde, born in 1975 in Moscow. He studied at the Moscow Polygraphic Institute, where he obtained a degree in design. He has been working in the Moscow theater since the early 1990s. Since 1993, he has collaborated with the Moscow Art Kino and worked as a designer for numerous magazines and advertisements. He is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. He has exhibited in many group and solo exhibitions (Moscow, New York, Jersey City, Malta). His exhibition at the prestigious Moscow gallery A-3 was opened by Eduard Drobitsky, president of the International Federation of Painters at UNESCO. Trifonov is a prominent follower of the Russian avant-garde and one of the leaders of the artistic concept known as receptualism. For Trifonov, being a painter means creating one’s own world. He explores the fundamental laws of visual means. Intuitive composition yields to the principles of regularity in relationships. The structure of the painting is built with colored planes where pure color itself is the bearer of form.
