Alexey Morosov is a Russian Russian Art artist who was born in 1974, now lives and works in Lucca, Italy. Graduated from Moscow State Academic Art Institute he is a member Russian Academy of Arts Presidium since 2014. Alexey Morosov’s works can be found among the collection of the State Russian Museum., St.Petersburg, Museum of New Academy of Fine Arts St. Petersburg, and in important corporative and private collections.
Morosov gives sculpture an analytics value, able to translate thoughts and perceptions into plastic forms, recapturing an ancestral ritual and spiritual value of art. The artist’s works retain a formal balance and a harmony of composition, direct filiation of classical and Renaissance art, which, innervated by contemporary technological elements, extends the Hellenistic desire to represent the spirit of the present times, hidden beneath the world’s chaos.
Alexey imposes an in progress strategy also applied to the use of materials, combining classic media with technological materials of an industrial nature. Artist takes the classic iconography from the past, installing it in a sort of an out-of-time scenario, in order to talk about the present in a visual manner. Even the selection of the materials follows this criterion, blending art works made by bronze and marble as in the classic tradition and some made by new materials and techniques made available by new technologies.
