Andrey Noviov
£0.00
Visual art serves as Andrey Novikov's method of understanding the world. While some read or attend seminars, Andrey always carries a sketchbook when exploring new places. The multitude of sketches made serve as the starting material for creating finished works. Before coming to the UK, Andrey wasn't particularly interested in engraving. However, here, the engraving technique seems closely related to the place, fascinating him with its layer-by-layer revelation and the emergence of the drawing on a hard surface. The most illustrative technique for Andrey is Mezzotint. As an immigrant, Andrey experiences a sense of disorientation in a new environment, but Mezzotint allows him to bring forth familiar and understandable silhouettes from the darkness of the unknown. This feeling of flashlight illumination is conveyed in each of Andrey's works.
