The Reachable Cosmos by Andrey Karpov

 

At first glance the works of the classicist of modern Russian Art Andrei Karpov strike with his philosophical and ironic attitude to reality. Both experts and collectors with sufficient piety refer to any display of "world-wide Russian soul generosity," considering skepticism as an up-to-date fashion trend.


Andrey Karpov builds his compositions by using visual traps. Not every eye can scan and percept his visual images in a second, you have to be involved into the deep mysterious Cosmos of the canvas, have to become a part of the mystery played by the artist. In this case the visual and metaphysical layers of the image deep hidden come to light.

Andrey Karpov believes that the reachable to the human imagination Cosmos is made not only with UFOs and aliens, whom however the artist would never disregard. With typical to him candour, he embodies the significance of common “miracles” into the real beings who live both with us and around us.

The artist has no doubt that the Cosmos is reachable to everybody - you just need to be open enough to be able to wonder at the stars in the sky.

Andrey Karpov is a recognized representative of an authentic art. His entire career from the very beginning when he just started to seek for his own visual language, and up to the moment when he managed to  create his unique code system, proves him to be a great master. In contrast to the naive or primitive artists, he can work with any kind of ideologeme and information. He just fills them out with his life experience and artistic background. By having been mixing up different art movements professionally for 27 years, Andrey Karpov managed to found his unique style, the one that is still easily recognizable and in demand.
