BIOGRAFIA
Alexander Grechanik was born in 1955.
Graduated from the Moscow Academic Art School In Memory of 1905 with honors in 1980. His graduate work was chosen the best work of the year.
Member of the UNESCO International Painters Association.
In May 2008 the painter's works were present at the international auction "Classics of Contemporary 20th-Century Painting" in Vienna (Dorotheum). The auction offered pictures by such pillars of the world painting as Picasso, Leger, Matisse, Chagall, Dali and others. Alexander Grechanik was the only Russian painter whose works were included in the auction.
Alexander Grechanik is developing his own way in art, and most of his works are the 'cadres', 'snapshots' from life, not just the impression, but the sense and feeling of the moment something happened and now is stored in memory like the photo in the family album.
Besides the chosen episode has some meaning, which is difficult to explain. All of his works have some 'secrets' in them, not special tricks, but details which many people do not see even after many times of seeing the painting - like the flowers in the hand of a wolf-man in his 'Theatre on Wooden Chairs'. In one painting the rings of the juggler are tied in air, on the other the pair is walking both on the three sticks somehow managing it...
But the main thing is the idea which made the author to paint this very image. For example the 'Whirligig' painting: as Alexander explained it - 'you see, the woman, she is spinning, turning around and around all her life. She is like whirligig, the children's toy. And whirligig already fell and stopped, and the woman continues to turn, spin, whirl...' - and when you look at the painting, you see the turned in a spiral woman, which is running like a squirrel in a wheel all her life, and even in static pose, even resting, she is nevertheless turning and turning.
And as the paintings has this deeper layer, they attract.
