Alexander Klevan

Art Brokerage: Alexander Klevan Russian Artist: b. 1950. Alexander Klevan was born in Siberia Russia, October, in 1950. Alexander Klevan is a romanticist in his art, not because he has chosen this "role", but due to the disposition of his soul, his world view and attitude. Clocks, which are frequently present in A. Klevan's still life, landscape paintings and compositions, measure the time, but there is no way of knowing whether the arms of the clock are going forward to the next day or back to the day before, returning our memory to the past. Klevan paints women's portraits, with the reflection of the epoch of Toulouse-Lautrec and Modigliani, Parisian charm, some kind of understatement, hard to capture. In these portraits triumphs an eternal femininity, beauty, life completeness, but why, unexpectedly and sharply, a glance wet with tears sparkles beneath the lowered brim of a hat. Life is only life, romanticism may adorn it, but is unable to change it. The feelings of instability of the world and its object environment creates an instability of feelings, which wipes off the border between reality and imagination: reality is as fantastic, as fantasy is real. Klevan continues to work in traditional genres - portrait, landscape - mainly urban, still life, figurative painting, frequently combining these genres in one composition. In the many-voiced noise of modern artistic life it is not easy to maintain fidelity to oneself and to one's creative outlook, to say one's work with one's own voice only, and not a borrowed voice and in one's own intonation - this is very much for every artist.
