Alexey Kazachenko
Artist at Small Gallery
"Aleksey Kazachenko, feverishly constructs his compositions.
The chaotic rumble of paper cutouts, paint and working tools are signature to the process based applications. The studies are brutaly etched into plastic sheets: fish scales, cabbage leaves, pickles, wood relief and every other element necessary for the composition is forged by his hand.
Elements of everyday life mark the artwork contemporary. Aleksey borrows techniques from traditional japanese painting, at times using objects to print. The collages assembled, result into «chedevre's» reminiscent of Picasso and Romare Bearden.
Kazachenko engages with his viewer. The more than life like images animate the collages. One can smell the aromas in the kitchen, feel the warm fresh fragrance of flowers and times even see the fresh fish wiggle and blink"

Alexey Kazachenko

Artist
Alexey Kazachenko was born in 1962 in Magdeburg (Germany)

He decided to be an artist when he was 5 years old. Alexey went to a small drawing group and inspired by his teacher, decided to stay in the arts for all his life.

But Alexey is not only a follower of the great artists. He went through his own difficult path of becoming an artist. Numerous personal exhibitions confirm this. Now in every work Alexey brings to the world his own vision. Each new work goes through a difficult path from idea to implementation.

Throughout his career as an artist, Alexey works in many artistic styles etching techniques, dry watercolors, mixed media, encaustic and collage techniques.


Collages are the artist’s special pride. And he rightfully deserves it. The multi-stage and multi-layered image is stunning with its deep color and expression.

Each piece of white paper is hand-painted by the artist. Alexey does not use chemical materials or artificial additive. Only natural ingredients.

Then follows a complex multi-stage path from inspiration to implementation. We can see and feel the end result of the artist’s painstaking work in his paintings. In each of his works, the artist leaves a piece of his soul, his heart and his love.
