"TO DEPICT ONE GOOD PAINTING IS VERY DIFFICULT. GOD WILLING TO PAINT SEVERAL GOOD ONES FOR THE WHOLE LIFE. IT DISTRACTS FROM LIFE. MOREOVER, PAINTING TODAY IS LIKE A SYMPHONY MUSIC: A PERSON UNDERSTANDS IT WHEN REACHES A CERTAIN AGE."
Batynkov is a painter, graphic artist, takes up photography and collage. K.Batynkov is an author of several dozen of exhibitions, received various awards in the field of fine arts. In 1980s–the early 1990s, Konstantin Batynkov started forming his unique style. First, he began experimenting with decorative forms, then took up collage. Alexander Labas, Soviet artist and representative of Russian avant-guard of the 1929s-1930s, was Batynkov’s idol. Later in his artistic career the main motives of works are becoming a fantastic technique and the buildings, suppressing people by its massive forms, futuristic battalias and catastrophes. The artist creates a monochrome dystopia.
By metro
We recommend travelling to Mayakovskaya metro station. The walk to the AZ Museum will take around five minutes. After leaving the station, turn first to the right into the alley, then moving forward, at the first intersection, turn left to 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street. Walk a few meters. AZ Museum will be on your right.
By car
There are paid parking spaces on either side of 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street or in the nearest alleys. Parking is limited, and on weekends and public holidays, the parking lots may be full.
