Trifonov Alexandr – Edgar Allan Poe

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 Polytechnic Institute, where he obtained a degree in design. He has worked in the Moscow theater since the early 1990s. Since 1993, he has also collaborated with the Moscow Art Cinema and worked as a designer for many magazines and advertisements. He is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. He exhibits in many group and solo exhibitions (Moscow, New York, Jersey City, Malta). His exhibition at the prestigious A-3 gallery in Moscow 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 deep laws of visual means. Intuitive composition gives way to the principles of regular interrelations. He builds the structure of the painting with colored planes, where pure color itself carries the form.
