Anton Arkhipov
Born in 1964 and raised in
Moscow
, Anton Arkhipov descends from a genealogical tree of several generations of
artists, musicians and actors. His father, Michail Arkhipov, a well-known
dissident artist, belonged to a group of artists of the rough style from the
1950's-70's. His mother, Tatiana Vtorova, an impressionist artist, descends
from a famous dynasty of Russian artists, sculptors, and architects such as A.
Benua, E. Lancere, Z. Serebryakova. Anton was brought up in an artistic
environment where various schools and trends from Russian Realism of the 19th
century to 20th century Avant-garde and Contemporary art were represented.
Educated at the Surikov College of Fine Arts in
Moscow
, Anton advanced with a promising talent learning skills in drawing, painting,
plastic anatomy, and the history of art. Throughout his education Arkhipov’s
fascination and influences evolved from the Impressionist masters, particularly
Van Gogh, Cezanne, Renoir, and Claude Monet to the Russian Avant-garde artists
of the 1920’s and 30’s. He graduated as one of the top students in his class
from the Surikov College of Fine Arts in
Moscow
.
Arkhipov showed his
paintings in government-sponsored, formal social realist exhibitions until 1987
when he began to show nontraditional work in “underground” exhibitions with a
young group of artists called “Kovcheg” (
Ark
). During this time, Anton began working on restoring church icons, murals, and
frescoes in search of his own soul and style, free of any political or popular
trends. As a result, his art became recognized in countries in
Western Europe ,
Italy ,
England and
Spain
where he had several exhibitions. In 1990, Anton moved to
America
where he has continued to this day to pursue an ever evolving quest of
representing humanity and its undying spirit on canvas, bronze sculptures and
other forms of media. Today, Anton Arkhipov’s works are shown in many galleries
across the country, and are found in private collections around the world.
