Alexey Krasnovsky

Alexey Krasnovsky (b.1945), grew up in postwar Leningrad [St. Petersburg] where he remembers "living in nostalgic literature rather than reality." Having studied five years at the Tavrichesky Art College in St. Petersburg with the constructivist painter Alexander Pavlovitch Zaitzev, he consolidated his education through the study of the great collections in the Hermitage Museum. In 1979 Krasnovsky left his homeland to pursue a migratory artistic career which has included extended periods of time in the USA, Ireland, Mexico, Portugal and France, and Austria. Alexey currently divides his time between Austin and Dublin, Ireland, where he has a strong artistic presence.
