Mikhail Lezin "Boom"
Ten43 Gallery
This event has ended.
Ten43 Gallery presents Mikhail Lezin: "Boom". This is the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery, and first exhibition in the United States.
A prominent figure on the international noise music circuit and the founder of the Kubotrob music label, Lezin was the featured artist at the 2011 Moscow Biennienial. Music and music making form an integral part of his art practice. According to the artist “I make music synchronously while painting and drawing. I manipulate rhythm and sound in every picture while it is in creation. The results on paper or canvas may appear as a landscape or calligraphic compositions.”
The eight paintings in the exhibition all feature a wide spectrum of landscape interpretations coupled with recti-linear areas of color. Using a color palate and gestural style evocative of Julian Schnabel, Lezin nonetheless creates a pictorial language of his own with a strong urban and industrial sensibility.
Mikhail Lezin was born 1974, in Togliatti a city on the banks of the Volga in central, Russia. His paintings have been featured in solo exhibitions in galleries across Russia.
