Kazantsev Konstantin

Konstantin Kazantsev is a young contemporary artist from Saint Petersburg. He uses different techniques and materials for his works' creation. The materials vary from acrylic to markers and cans of paint.

“The most important thing is the sense of modernity and actuality” — that's what the artist thinks, and he reflects it in his artworks. The characters of Kazantsev are rather diverse: it can be a girl, holding a flower or a cup of coffee, sport car, driving at high speed, a young couple kissing each other or the life of creative young people, bohemians.

Recently, the artist is inspired by the theme of destruction, and now he is occupied by the creation of paintings of crashed cars such as Lamborghini and Ferrari, as an answer to the issue of “the impermanence of everything beautiful in the world”.

Most of the artist's series are stylistically reminiscent of a magazine graphics, illustrations. In this case, the artist addresses the issue of space very freely: all the excess is dropped, to focus on the story, on the action, on the motion.
