Exhibition of Andrei Kulagin at the Winery in the Studio of Mikhail Korolev July 18, 2013 Automatic translate

The name of the artist Andrei Kulagin is associated with design, advertising and politics. There is nothing surprising.

Andrey Kulagin passed the classical school of Soviet design. 12 years of work at VNIITE. Founder of 302BIS and PostGoodesign design studios, one of the founders of the first Russian Club of Art Directors, a member of the Portfolio Club. Andrei was the art director of numerous advertising campaigns and high-profile political projects in the era of elections and political competition.

His sense of modernity has contributed to numerous successful projects. Be it the election of the first President of Russia or the creation of the famous brand of ice cream.

However, for many, the discovery was that the artist, with his recognizable graphic language, was hiding behind brands, brands and large projects. An artist who always worked hard and showed a little.

Here is how the author himself comments on his first solo exhibition: “We can say that this is a kind of report on the work done over the past ten years. From handwriting and drawings made in my spare time from my main work, which could be considered as some kind of hobby, to constant everyday activities. What is visible. This is a gradual rejection of figurativeness, a rejection of traditional art techniques using a pencil, brush, paint. The movement continues. I hope that what is interesting for me to do is also of interest to the viewer. ”

Curator Natalia Rizdvenko comments: “His visual language is surprisingly diverse. Before us is an artist who is constantly experimenting and searching. Myself, new meanings, details, possibilities of plastics and colors. This is such a constant self-expansion - going beyond… This is a great talent, a lot of work and a lot of rarity today. In this sense, Andrei Kulagin is very modern, because the search for novelty is precisely the essence of pioneering… "

The exhibition project “OUTSIDE” provides a good opportunity to get acquainted with the works of Andrei Kulagin of different times - from figurative and illustration to post-minimalism. Moreover, only one thing remains unchanged in the art of the artist. LOVE.
