Zadorin Alexander Biography

Alexander Zadorin painting, graphics, sculpture, ceramics Alexander Zadorin entered the history of the art of St. Petersburg as a bright artistic personality and a master of deep multifaceted talent. Already in the very name of the exposition, the main features of the creative temperament of Zadorin were reflected - the most powerful vitality, creative energy and internal freedom, allowing him to embody his ideas and images in different materials.

The artist easily moved from one type of art to another-from sculpture and decorative art to painting and graphics-and everywhere achieved success, maintaining his recognizable author's handwriting. The creative gift of Zadorin was most clearly manifested in ceramics. The works performed in this material demonstrate the incredible scope of the imagination and artistic passion of the artist.

He is not afraid of transformations and boldly turns ceramic vases and blood vessels into portraits, still lifes and even landscapes, and from individual elements, large -scale genre sculptures and installations.

It was in these sculptural compositions that the master’s desire for theatrical entertainment was most fully and vividly manifested. In painting and graphics, the artist is just as sparking and free as in sculpture. Landscapes, portraits, genre scenes are easily intertwined in motives and move from one genre to another. Love occupies a special place in Zadorin's work. It is multifaceted, comprehensive in the interpretation of the artist, it has a lot of humor, enthusiasm.

Through it, the author comprehends the world deeper and brighter. The characters of ancient myths and heroes of the biblical stories are as modern as the images of people today - sitting in a bar playing jazz, bicycles. Their life unfolds before us here and now. This amazing ability to discern in history and modernity similar situations, characteristic of all eras of the relationship of people, puts Zadorin on a par with the great masters of the past.

He belonged to the type of universal, versatile artist, which is rarely encountered at all times, the legacy of which to this day gives the audience a sense of boundless inner freedom and joy from communicating with art.
