I am Iskan Ilyazov, artistic alias Iskan. I was born in 1956 and brought up in Tiraspol, Moldova; I lived in Bucharest, Romania; currently I live in Moscow, Russia.
I paint bright and emotional geometric abstractions on canvas that capture and inspire the viewer. Filled with positive energy, my paintings bring harmony, joy, happiness and kindness.
I'm doing everything my own way. My pictures make themselves – from a kind of inexplicable faith in their own star.
I generalize and then hone the image, making it expressive. The rest doesn’t interest me. I remove the litter from a figurative representation, I throw out the noise and the background. You can say I boil it down to crystal, touching it up to achieve balance and harmony. In the end, only color and form are left. When I paint an abstraction, I generalize the figurative almost until the image disappears; when it becomes symbolic and bright, when a lot of content has been compressed into it – then it is ready to be transposed to canvas. Then I have to think about nothing except the painterly technique, and even to that I pay little conscious attention, only controlling the quality of what’s coming from under the brush. It all comes from inside. It all happens in my subconscious.
My paintings are part of public and museum collections in Minsk, Moscow, Nuremberg, and Florence; and private collections in Windsor and London; Berlin and Cologne; Minsk and Monaco; Moscow and St. Petersburg; Hollywood and Las Vegas; Cannes, Nice, and Paris.
I am a specialist in Soviet non-conformist art and own a relevant collection. As a scholar and researcher, I focus on the theory and practical studies of color forms in contemporary painting.
My list includes over 100 exhibitions in Berlin, Venice, Cannes, Milan, Minsk, Moscow, Nice, Nuremberg, Paris, Rome, St. Petersburg, and Florence, with over 80 group exhibitions and 20 solo shows.
LET’S TAKE ISKAN’S BEARINGS IN ART HISTORY
In Europe and the United States, geometric abstraction of the 1920s and 1930s had a significant impact on architecture, design, industrial and decorative arts, and saw a revival after World War II, coupled by the emergence of minimalism and op art.
In Soviet art, Russian avant-garde tradition revitalized in the mid-1950s as artists from the non-conformist unofficial art scene explored geometric abstract art. Profiting from the legacy of avant-garde and having discovered non-objectivity in the legacy of Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevitch and Western art after World War II, Soviet non-conformist artists came to understand geometric abstraction as a visual language of boundless possibilities and made a breakthrough into a new artistic consciousness for Soviet art.
Iskan Ilyazov, having put together a fine collection of the oeuvre of Soviet non-conformist artists, continues the tradition established in the early 20th century and by the Soviet non-conformist artists, interpreting it and reflecting the realities of the 21st century.
