A great thinker, artist, whose game of mind delights. The master works in painting, drawing, installation, calligraphy. Each work has a deep meaning, most often the author reflects on time. But the main place in his work is the art of calligraphy.

The author’s task is to realize the compositional and rhythmic capabilities of the sign in space and to fix the artistic image, starting from the plane of the place and to the spiritual foundations of being. The work is based on the handwriting, that which is inherent in man as a given from above, regardless of his views and principles, revealing the internal nuances. Compositional decisions become a formative environment, where the border of graphics and calligraphy, ideas and image are often blurred, where an alliance of structure and psychology is created. A different visual and spectral understanding of the work appears, where a stroke, lining up in a stylistic sound, carries a lexicographic meaning and takes that very place and appears at the same time in which the secret meaning of spatial illusion is hidden. Synthesized internal tension gives rise to a new artistic image.

In one work, the artist can use more than ten different materials, so it is not always easy to determine the genre of his works. This is one of the distinguishing features of Anatoly Moshchelkov.

Anatoly Moshchelkov creates a certain canon of new synthetic art, where creativity - this in itself - is a thought: the structure of the universe is revealed in the system of images. It is an aggregate way of being.

The exhibition runs until October 27th.
