Dmitriy Alekseyev, visual artist, born in Moscow, USSR in 1963, Lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Dmitriy Alekseyev received his BFA from the Textile Institute in Moscow in 1986.
Since 1989 he worked as art-director with the best film and theater directors, including Mikhail Kazakov, Alexander Proshkin, Konstantin Khudyakov, Valery Akhadov, Svetlana Proskurina, Vladimir Mirzoev, Rustam Khamdamov, Annie Girardot, Diana Vishneva.
In 1998 Dmitriy founded an architectural bureau ironically named “СССР” (USSR) where he was CEO and art-director till 2016 when he moved to the USA.
His works have been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide since 1990, including Walking in Scotland in State Tretyakov Gallery with support of British Council in 1997.
In 2016 Dmitriy was commissioned to create the outdoor exposition The Games: Ancient Olympia to Atlanta to Rio, followed by Time in 2017 for Millennium Gate Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. The drawings and sketches created by Dmitriy Alekseyev for the outdoor work were exhibited concurrently at museum’s space.
The Future is a magic word for Dmitriy Alekseyev, all his work are attempts to look into it, and many of his projects turned out to be a kind of prediction of major events that are happening now. He feels the spirit of time and the energy of big events and changes often his style and technique to visualize them. Many of Alekseyev’s projects, like Refugees, Sky Maintenance, are realized outside the walls, he uses the sky or a city as a canvas for his complexed works to express his vision of global things that torment the world. The physical life of his works is short, sometimes a few hours, and they remain only in photographs, which is part of his concept of public art and a reminder of the fragility of the world around us.
