The solo exhibition of
contemporary Russian artist Aleksey Morozov presents over 48 sculptures,
paintings and graphic works that formed the Antologia
new author's project. In Morozov's creative oeuvre the aesthetic program of the
New Academy of Fine Arts that was created by Timur Novikov and recognized as
the significant phenomenon in the art of St. Petersburg in the 1990's -2000's, finds
its individual interpretation. The Antologia
project may be regarded as a natural result of Aleksey Morozov's sojourn in Italy - the
country that became for him the embodiment of the concept of the Antique Art.
The unattainable perfection of the famous masterpieces by sculptors of Ancient
Greece and Rome is comprehended all over again by the artist in the
polysemantic images that are going back to the antique mythology and history
that are included in the space of cultural experience of a modern man. The
heroes that are marked by inspired beauty and imposing harmony seem to be
protecting themselves from the threat of invisible aggressive force in the most
part of presented works. The high skill of execution, natural combination of
tradition and innovation, canonical and spontaneous helps Aleksey Morozov to
discover the new possibilities of plastic language of the Antique Art and to
emphasize the eternal significance of its humanistic ideals.
The exhibition is organized
