Alex Kuznetsov "The Fear of the Fog"

The Artist

Alex Kuznetsov (b. 1978) is a Paris-based artist whose paintings develop through repetition, layering, and the gradual construction of surface. Working in abstraction, he builds each canvas through an extended process in which the image is formed by accumulation, interruption, and revision. 

Nothing is delivered at once; the work discloses itself slowly, through duration and attention. Colour in Kuznetsov's work is inseparable from pressure, density, and erasure. What appears at first measured or restrained is held in a state of tension, with each layer retaining the trace of what has been added, withdrawn, or covered. 

These paintings are not organized around depiction, but around the concrete conditions of painting itself: time, friction, rhythm, and the weight of the surface. His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Across these contexts, Kuznetsov has maintained a practice grounded in the material discipline of painting and in its ability to sustain looking beyond first impact.
