Trifonov Alexandr – Sentimental Day

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 received a designer education. He has been working in Moscow theatre since the early 1990s. Since 1993, he has also collaborated with Moscow’s Art Kino and has worked as a designer for many 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 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 conceptualism. For Trifonov, being a painter means creating his own, unique world. He explores the deep laws of visual means. Intuitive composition gives way to principles of regularity in relationships. The structure of the painting is built with colored surfaces where pure color is precisely the bearer of form.
