Andrej Vystropov (26.12.1961) belongs to a generation of Russian painters whose maturing art is rapidly gaining recognition not only in their homeland but also on the European art scene. Andrej emerged from the sheltered environment of St. Petersburg's prestigious Academy of Fine Arts into the harsh reality of the early 1990s; now, a decade of immense talent and determination later, he is the favorite of respected art dealers, curators, wealthy patrons, and art-loving newcomers alike.
Andrej's meteoric rise into the elite world of high art is based on an exceptionally vivid and moving way of communicating with the audience. At the core of his success is a compelling, meticulous technique that shows affinity with the methods of great Renaissance masters, whose legendary collection of works he had the opportunity to study at the State Hermitage of St. Petersburg.
Andrej's oils are renowned for their realistic depiction of their themes, achieved through faithful attention to even the smallest detail and remarkable sensitivity to the powerful interplay—sometimes dreamy, sometimes harsh and brutal—of light and color. The message is conveyed through symbolism; seemingly incongruous objects, symbolic parts, are combined into a meaningful whole that speaks to the viewer from within the artist's experience. Each painted figure and each object has its place and role in the composition. The final result provokes a continuous search for the meaning, all the meanings, of the reality represented by the artist.
Andrej Vystropov is not an easily understood artist. His realistic paintings challenge the viewer to seek the core of our existence, with all its beauty and all its problems cloaked in irony and skepticism. This deep examination is reinforced by superb painting technique, intriguing composition, and a striking combination of color, all of which form the artist's compelling signature that never fails to engage the viewer.
Andrej Vystropov is Russian to the core, but his art is timeless, boundless, and deeply personal. It is a mirror in which each of us can see ourselves as we truly are. This intimate connection between artist and viewer is why Andrej's art is in such great demand both at home and abroad.
The artist's works are in the collections of the Volgograd Museum of Fine Arts and the State Historical and Memorial Museum-Reserve "Battle of Stalingrad," as well as in private collections in Russia and other countries.
