Alexey Viktorovich Kallima

Alexey Viktorovich Kallima is a modern Russian artist, author of picturesque canvases, installations, shares and happy. The plots to which he addresses is always the most exciting: these are provocative in the style and content of the image of Chechens; the bad infinity of goods in the consumer society; violence among football fans; unexpected transformation of urban space (for example, in the ironic series “Gray everyday life. Bright dreams”, 2013); Return to nature (project “Psi”, 2015) and others. The artist is in a continuous search: from acute -social plots to romantic in everyday life, from almost monochrome gamut to a wide palette. Monochrome using only coal and sangins - the business card of Alexei Kallima. In such works, it focuses on form, plastic, dynamics, strives to expression of the expression of the moment. At the same time, his contemplative work, on the contrary, is more often multi -color and maintain contact with experiments in abstractionism, in them reality seems to be relaxed on separate color spots. The first personal exposition, the “Exhibition of Painting and Graphics”, was held in the artist’s hometown in 1992 in the Museum of Fine Arts named after Peter Zakharov. Subsequently, personal exhibitions were held in Russia, Europe and the USA.
