About
Vladimir Potapov included in the list of the Best Russian contemporary artists (Art Index).
Vladimir Potapov is famous as a painter, and an original painter, inclined to theorizing and curatorial practice.
In addition to active exhibition and curatorial activities, Vladimir Potapov is a participant, nominee and laureate of almost all major exhibition contests and awards. His deconstructed paintings, consisting of several picturesque layers, have long ceased to amaze the audience, which is evidence of the formation of a recognizable author's style. “Spatial painting,” as the author himself characterized it, is only one of many experiments in the comprehension of tradition. In the disintegrating paintings of Potapov, an attempt is made to go beyond the limits of the pictorial plane by giving the image volume and depth. To achieve these goals, “non-painted means” are used - an alien visual language - photography, and transparent sheets of plexiglass - instead of canvas.
