Each of Alexander Telin’s works emerges over a prolonged period of time,Alexander Telin’s Saturated Oil Paint Interpretations Articles developed from experience and contemplation. Bright saturated colors swirl in impressionistic strokes in each of Telin’s pieces, forming surreal or whimsical images from short, careful brushstrokes. Human features appear stylized or distorted by translucent materials. Crisp, bright areas of color are elaborated upon by small, varied pigments, which add a further layer of interest in each shadow and highlight. Each piece reveals the unexpected aspect of familiar images, in a tantalizing exploration of the human and fantastical world. Telin believes color has a special role in driving the direction of each piece, creating paintings that expound upon the transformative and expressive qualities of saturated hues. Small dashes of color circle in each painting, articulating forms while delineated patches of reflected light and deep, tangible shadow.

A native of Moscow, Telin focuses on “deep pictoral art,” a term he uses to create a sense that each image forms some suggestion of a narrative, with each work part of a larger series.

About the Exhibition

Agora Gallery is pleased to announce Idiosyncratic Expressions, a group exhibition featuring forteen artists who look at the world and see something fantastic, in every sense of the word. Idiosyncratic Expressions offers the entire range of observational to surreal to non-representational, in painting and sculpture. One participant offers an extreme close-up of figures and the things they leave behind – clothing, boats, flowers arranged in vases – at angles no one could achieve naturally. Another depicts pure textures floating through space in a novel three-dimensional use of paint. Still another paints scenes that can never be: a unicorn lying at a woman’s feet, or a watering hole full of animals in the middle of a city street. Though their creators come from all around the globe and all levels of artistic education, the works in this exhibition share boldness of color, subject matter, and purpose. Each artist’s perspective is unique and highly personal to their own experience.
