Paintings today by Alexey Terenin, a Russian painter raised in Prague who now devides his time between Moscow and Prague. Alexey's dream like work references themes of literature and religion as he works out interpretations of the human condition. Birds are a reoccurring and powerful metaphor in his pieces.

About Terenin Alexey Terenin luckily combines the architect’s training and painter’s practice in his work, which embraces the aesthetic environment of modern man. Having got the education at the Moscow Architectural Institute in 1986-1993 Alexey Terenin started his career of exhibiting graphic artist and painter in 1992 with most prominent Moscow galleries Art Moderne and M’ARS. Grown up Prague and living in Moscow he as an artist has become a digger for the layers of imagination that can never be identified historically, but absorbed the heritage of many cultures of the West and East. The language of reminiscence and association chosen by the artist enabled him to build up a big city of dreams inhabited with the ghosts of the past and heroes of the present in the most peculiar and unpredictable way. In the depths of his fantasy the artist was given a power to choose the time, the place and the rules of the game and then to set off to a journey with his personages. Prague surely inspired Terenin’s “Gothic” expressiveness, while Moscow gave him the constant sense of interlacement of epochs, that history’s masquerade, which is obviously present in his paintings. The artist found his own way of discovering the world. A mask, instead of concealing and hiding the meanings, became a sign, a symbol, and an image of reality, which otherwise in this way or another escapes our comprehension, and only the mask provides us the understanding of the theater of life. Not accidentally Terenin worked for the theater, the Bolshoj Theater of Moscow. Scenery may serve the key world for his work, be it interior mural, easel painting, or furniture design. There is no literature, no subject, but only a situation. Narration is left up to some unknown and independent playwright. The abovementioned pictorial journey endeavored by Terenin’s personages can be only possible if the artist and the viewer know nothing about the end of it. Also the attaching of meanings and titles is in discord with the nature of the game. What we have for sure is the perfect architectonics of the newly discovered world that anyone could probably have seen in some other life.

Nato a Mosca nel 1969, Alexey Terenin è cresciuto a Praga. Il figlio di un architetto si è laureato all'Accademia architettonica di Mosca nel 1992. Dopo la laurea, è stato invitato a progettare un palcoscenico per la produzione del ballo di Igor Stravinsky, Capriccio, dello Stato Bolshoi Theater di Mosca. Terenin ha iniziato la sua carriera come pittore nel 1992 con spettacoli presso le prestigiose gallerie di Mosca, Art Moderne e M'Ars. Anche se Terenin non ha mai praticato come architetto, la formazione che ha ricevuto è evidente in gran parte del suo lavoro. Le sue strutture ispirate gotiche sono chiaramente influenzate dalla sua città adottiva. Il mondo di Terenin è una miscela ricca sia del vecchio Oriente che del moderno Occidente. Il suo lavoro riflette le condizioni dell'uomo moderno, ma il suo lavoro è pieno di riferimenti biblici, nonché della letteratura russa. Non si può sfuggire a un senso distinto della storia nel suo lavoro. Ma, la cui storia? Questo mondo di quiete sognante, a volte, che ricorda il lavoro di Balthus, è in qualche modo stranamente familiare. Come se Terenin abbia sfruttato una coscienza collettiva, di un tempo e di un posto che abbiamo visitato, ma non riesco a ricordarlo. Alexey Terenin ora divide il suo tempo tra Praga e Mosca. Il suo lavoro si trova in collezioni private e aziendali in Australia, Repubblica Ceca, Francia, Germania, Olanda, Svizzera, Belgio, Lussemburgo, Irlanda, Hong Kong, Israele, Italia, Giappone, Corea, Nuova Zelanda, Russia, Spagna , Nel Regno Unito e negli Stati Uniti
