Montana Gallery Barcelona hosts the solo show of Alex Kuznetsov, featuring his passionate and emotional spray-painted canvases that transcend borders and limitations to establish a dialogue with the spectator through abstract art.
Alex Kuznetsov, an abstract artist, showcased his "Abstract Spraypainting" solo show at Montana Gallery Barcelona starting from February 7th, 2013, with an opening at 20:00. The exhibition continued till March 9th, 2013.
Born in 1978 in Belarus, also known as White Russia, Kuznetsov has been representing as one of the first writers from the old USSR for about 15 years. Over the years, he has developed himself creatively within graffiti and design and has been on a constant search for personal style. Kuznetsov has used many different names along the road of his artistic travels such as Iks, Temos, Monk, Awek, Ners, and Liquid, presenting his lettering on stickers, stencils, and murals in many different cities around Europe, different countries of ex-Soviet Union, and Asia.
Kuznetsov shifted from the world of graffiti and "style writing" to create more art on canvas with its abstract features in 2010. He had his first experiences of making murals in Hong Kong and more profoundly through his canvas work in the studio, where he discovered how to transmit true passion and emotion through color, with his lines and movements loaded with expressivity on superimposed layers.
Kuznetsov is an artist who keeps surprising himself with all that occurs and surrounds him in the world we live in, and he shares this with us through his spray-painted canvases. He believes that figurative art is not the only way to establish a dialogue between artist and spectator and moves away from all types of borders and limitations of conception to let the colors be the true transmitters of all these emotions, heart to heart.
