MUZALEVSKY

On October 8th, Alina Pinsky Gallery opened a solo exhibition by Evgeny Muzalevsky. Bright and charismatic, distinctive, free, and expressive – at the age of 25, this artist has already made his mark in significant Russian collections, and younger colleagues are trying to emulate him.
Evgeny Muzalevsky graduated from the Rodchenko School (under the mentorship of Sergey Bratkov) and is currently continuing his studies at the Offenbach University of Art and Design in Germany under the guidance of German professor and artist Heiner Blum.
When he entered the Rodchenko School, Muzalevsky initially focused on photography and envisioned himself as a professional photographer. However, he soon began to paint, transitioning from graphics to large-scale painting. "At the Rodchenko School, I studied art theory, looked at the works of other artists, and started to think beyond the photographic. Visual images don't need words, and I wanted to paint rather than speak," says Evgeny. This transition proved to be extremely organic in his case, as it is evident that Muzalevsky's painting is executed in one breath. Creating a work of art for him is inseparable from his life experiences, and he perceives painting as a natural process. His style is instantly recognizable, despite the language's closed-off nature and the self-contained system of his imagery. Various formats, whether it's a pocket-sized sketchbook or a five-meter canvas, are mastered effortlessly by the artist.






"Muzalevsky's art emerges from the interweaving of images once captured and embedded in his consciousness, which he constantly extracts from memory, pulls out from the everyday or from the history of art, because 'life is like jelly, which can be cooked in different ways,' and 'the personal and the historical have no boundaries.'"
