What art critics say?
Painting by Alexey Chistyakov is a vivid example of modern picturesque abstraction of St. Petersburg. ... In his abstract canvases, his
logocentricity and often tiresome philosophical significance are
replaced by a tactile-hedonistic experience of form, so subtly and in a
humanistic way, that it sometimes causes gastronomic associations.
Alexey Chistyakov created his own visual language, which is based on the author's invention of the artist - the technique of "double canvas", multi-layer oil painting (from 5 to 25 layers) and author's painting techniques.
