"I AM A CONSTRUCTOR, BY NATURE, AND I CONSTRUCT PAINTINGS AS WELL AS AN ARTIST DECORATES STAGE IN THEATRE. FIRST, I CREATED GEOMETRIC CIRCLES, THEN STUDIED SYMBOLISM."
Sergey Shablavin is an artist, from the mid-1970s being the part of the circle of Moscow conceptualists. The main theme of his art is correlation of landscape with structure, anarchy of nature with clear forms of reality. The unifying feature of his works which are close to the aesthetics of social art is optics of perception: frames, doublings and reflections imposed on the image unpredictably distort hyperrealistic worlds. Sergey Shablavin’s world are in collections at the tratyakov Gallery, Zimmerli Art Museum, The Thessaloniki State Museum of Modern Art (Greece), The Bochum Art Museum and others.
