Alexey

Country: Russia ·Born in 1987

A Petersburg artist working in the technique of oil painting.

Born on November 4, 1987, in the city of Leningrad.

In 2010, he graduated from the St. Petersburg State Art and Industry Academy named after A.L. Stieglitz.

He teaches painting and design and is the founder of the creative studio of Aleksey Zhukov. For over 10 years, Aleksey has been "working as a magician" – helping people master the skill of drawing, bringing to life the paintings of their dreams, offering an engaging creative hobby, and for some, sometimes a true calling and a second profession.

The works of A.Yu. Zhukov are, on one hand, imbued with a reverent attitude toward the pictorial heritage of domestic and foreign masters of the 20th century, and on the other, with his own vision of contemporary society. That is why influences of styles such as Fauvism, Synthetism, and Expressionism can be noticed in his canvases. Permeated with the spirit of historic Petersburg, inspired by various music genres, and seeking himself in Eastern philosophy, the young artist combines a soft color palette with bright, saturated tones in his works. Most of A.Yu. Zhukov’s paintings are filled with symbolism and historical references that only a discerning art connoisseur can read. His inspired fascination with the past and romanticization of traditions characterize the young artist as a searching and insightful critic of contemporary postmodern culture.
