Leonid Feodor "Transfiguration from sound to sign"

Volumetric cubism and art tectonics by Leonid Feodor.

Even if, according to the controversial hypothesis of Omphalos and the glib assurances of creationists, it is true that Adam and Eve did not have a navel at the time of creation, all the trees in Eden were without growth rings, and the world was created by the clap of just one palm in six days by a bearded grandfather - This all in a beautiful panel of assemblage rests on the fundamental thesis of Stefan Zweig that every true creation grows from the dark humus of failed creations.

Leonid Feodor is an Honored Artist of Russia, a professor, a venerable luminary of various creative associations and unions. President of the Russian branch of the Eurasian Art Union. Since 2006, the creator and director of the Museum of Russian Culture… and as a weighty bonus behind all this, a small trolley rolls along, loaded with no less epic regalia and titles.

Theodore is multifacetedly inquisitive in the search for fresh art historical concepts. With an unexpected turn, he manages to tenaciously capture the viewer’s attention, masterfully, time after time, to string the dormant philistine consciousness onto the intricacies of his philosophical thoughts. And at some point you suddenly catch yourself that his work “Svyatoslav 2” somehow intuitively, at the level of “broken DNA”, emotionally echoes the famous “Guernica” by Pablo Picasso.

Above the entrance to his workshop, a capacious thesis “Metamorphoses – Transfiguration – Transformation” is engraved in golden monograms and he, following the flow of singularly exciting ideas, intuitively conveys them to his constantly searching and insightful viewer.
