Art Magazine Parnass
Parnass describes the contemporary artist Alexander Dik and his artistic expression within Neo-Expressionism. Dik’s works are characterized by pathos, exuberance, expressiveness, and bold colors. His creations are influenced by personal experiences and current events, particularly the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. The text emphasizes the growing importance of connections between art and life, noting that Dik’s art is no longer viewed as autonomous. The artist uses colors to express fears, anger, emotions, and desires.
While Dik’s earlier works dealt with the tragedies and traumas of human history, his more recent works, especially during the Corona pandemic, increasingly show glimpses of light and hope. The artist’s work is seen as a powerful reflection of the times and is set to be exhibited at the Mark Rothko Museum and the Art Beijing fair until 2024.
