Ivan Razumov
SHARE
Ivan Razumov was born in 1972 in Moscow. He grew up in a family associated with art: his grandfather was the famous Soviet graphic artist Fyodor Konstantinov, and his uncle was production designer Vladimir Lykov. Razumov studied at the theater and scenery faculties: in 1987-1991 - at the Art School in memory of 1905, since 1991 - at the Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov.
He began as a graphic artist, formed under the influence of the classical Soviet school of graphics of the 1930s. In 1997, he began to engage in printed illustrations for periodicals and books (works by M. Basho, V.V. Mayakovsky, A.S. Pushkin, V. A. Shenderovich and others). He transferred the techniques of graphics and book illustration to painting - hence the specific construction of the composition, surrealistic displacement of scales, bright color. In 1995-2002. entered the St. Petersburg art circles, collaborated with Timur Novikov, Sergei Bugaev-Africa, Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe, created covers and illustrated articles for the psychoanalytic magazine "Cabinet" Viktor Mazin. In the 2000s, having returned to Moscow, he created several graphic projects together with Pavel Pepperstein.
The main leitmotifs of creativity are the clash, conflict and eroticization of images of Soviet, new-Russian and Western European cultures (pioneers, Lenin, Marx, the Kremlin, etc.). The plots are based on allusions to cinematic and literary episodes, psychoanalytic theories, political and social events, myths of popular culture. The artistic world of Razumov is grotesque, sarcastic and at the same time nostalgic and a little sad. Works in the collection of the Center Pompidou in Paris, as well as in private collections in Russia and abroad.
