An artist who redraws famous paintings. Redrawing in the spirit of naive art. Yes, and "mitek".
Exhibition of Alexander Filatov frankly postmodernist: not only because there is irony in the paintings, but also because it can be appreciated only by knowing the primary sources, which here are subjected to an ironic, but very friendly reduction.
“Giotto, Courbet, Tintoretto, Veronese, Turner, Constable, Neher, Goya, Rembrandt, Titian, Delacroix, Rubens and other masters have been rewritten by me many times,” says Filatov. - Then I was little interested in Russian painting, especially the Wanderers. And in the 1990s. an idea came up to try to rewrite some Russian paintings... In 2009, I started work on a series of "Favorite Paintings", which combines Western and Russian painting... in the museum, standing next to the original.
