Platonov Alexander
Alexander Platonov was born in 1970. Now he lives and works in Moscow.
After graduating from Penza Art School in 1991 he focused on calligraphy, graphics, geometric painting and photography. He was included in the top 10 most interesting artists of the Art Russia 2024 fair, won first place in the International Competition Annual art contest Digital Decade II OFFF in 2014.
In his practice Alexander raises the theme of the alphabet as a system of abstract signs in the space of magical realism. The main idea of his work is to reveal the deep meaning and symbolic meanings of minimal units of text.
The artist's focus of attention is centered on the representation of graphemes of letters by elements of pattern, as parts of the ornamentation of the text. His main mediums are silkscreen, photographic film, canvas, oil, giclée.
