Lezin Mikhail

“I make music synchronously while painting and drawing. Dub and noise make up the field of my musical experiments and this largely determines the nature of my art. If noise is destruction, then dub is architecture. Pictorial noise, unripe and unrestrained glitch. Dub structured by sharpness of black contour entwines in noise. I only manipulate rhythm and sound of every picture while it is in creation. As the result on the paper or canvas may appear a landscape or calligraphic composition.”
Mikhail Lezin.
