Contemporary Russian artist Andrey Remnev is a
rising superstar on the art scene today. Born in
Yakhroma, a small town outside of Moscow, his
work is very influenced by traditional Russian
icons. One of the reasons for this is that Remnev
began his education studying icon painting at the
Holy Andronic Monastery in Moscow. The monastery
is the home of innumerable Russian Orthodox
artworks, many of which were painted by the
abbeys most famous monk and artist, Andrei
Rublev (1360-1427). Remnev combines the old with
the new in his own unique style to create a
statement about our modern world. Just like
Russian icon art, Remnevs work is decorative,
colorful and deeply symbolic. My paintings are
distinguished by attention to detail and
meticulous decorating, in a traditional Russian
style, he says. Remnevs work seems very
traditional initially with the dresses and
costumes worn by his characters. Upon closer
inspection you can see elegant additions that
propel the piece right into contemporary times.
Women play an important role in Remnevs
paintings, often taking up a large part of the
picture plan contrasted by a miniature town. This
compositional technique makes the women look
powerful. Remnev uses this traditional device of
shrinking the space around the main character to
give them a feeling of monumentality or
importance.
It was a technique employed by Renaissance
artists, particularly Leonardo da Vinci. The
women in his paintings possess a universal
quality of grandeur and mystery. Remnev explains,
My characters are not real women, but
symbols. He is not looking to make his women
have specific character traits, but to stand for
a concept or ideal. Remnev believes that art in
general is accountable for what it brings to the
world. He wants his art to bring beauty to the
world, to create a type of eternal beauty. Cathy
