Boarded up hole
Andrey Grositsky is a cult nonconformist artist, a prominent representative of unofficial art. Grositsky is usually mentioned among the founders of “Russian pop art,” but at the same time, his art has a symbolic, metaphysical content. Having paid tribute to Cezanne and metaphysical art throughout the 60s, from the beginning of the next decade he has been developing his own plastic language, based on the relationship between space and subject. The subject, as a rule, is single, expressive, balancing at the intersection of hyperrealism and fantasy, becomes the central motif of his works, created as original busy pictorial objects.
Andrey Grositsky (1934-2017) was born in Moscow. In 1959 he graduated from Moscow State Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov (workshop of D.K. Mochalsky). From 1962 to 1994 he worked as a teacher at the Correspondence People's University of Arts together with N. Kasatkin, M. Roginsky, B. Turetsky, E. Izmailov and I. Chuikov. This gave him the opportunity to independently pursue art. In 1968 he joined the Moscow Union of Artists. Since the 1990s, Andrei Grositsky begins to use textured painting, using non-painting materials, with the help of which the artist breaks the pictorial surface and “goes” beyond the format. The artist died in Moscow in the fall of 2017.
