Alexander Dyomkin
I am a contemporary artist based out of Ryazan, Russia,
specializing in street-art and public-art.
BIO
I was born in the small city of Shilovo, Ryazan region in 1994.
In 2007 I started my creative activity as a graffiti-writer. Currently, I actively participate in exhibitions and projects
of street art throughout Russia.

My main topics are studying the development of humans inner qualities, their reaction to everyday experiences and situations. The alternation of work in the studio and in the urban context, gives me the opportunity to look at these topics in a new way.


"To catch the moment"

"Life is measured not by the number of breaths, but by the moments when it takes your breath away!" (George Garlin)

I often try to convey emotion through my images. To put into visual form a feeling and an inner state. Make it tangible and more understandable. Whether it is a conscious "Immersion" in something with your head or an overwhelming and burdensome "Doubt". I want, though not for a long time, but to make a person stop and turn to himself. This is exactly what I consider one of the important tasks of my creativity.

My new work "To Catch the Moment" is an attempt to capture that very split second of awareness; to visualize the feeling that you have now lived an important moment. So important that you felt and practically "touched" it and tried to hold it; the moment that you choose, which you considered decisive, and filled up with memories that shape you and reflect your truth.

In this work, linear motion is replaced by radial motion, which creates the effect of deformation of space and immersion in it. In the center of the composition is a human figure who, with the movement of his hands, tries to catch this "moment". This picture is a reflection; a search for something that is beyond our perception, but leaves a tangible mark on it.

"Source"
Derbent, Republic of Dagestan 2020
⠀⠀

The Work "Source" is part of a diptych made jointly with @rustamqbic in the city of Derbent, Republic of Dagestan. The main idea was to reveal the theme of the unity of the fundamental natural components - water and mountains (land) through recognizable Dagestani images and draw attention to the beauty of the nature of this place.

The close connection of two natural components is similar to the connection of a man and a woman, in the relationship of which something new is born.
I dedicated my part to women who represent the element of water. Water is emotion. It is plastic, changeable, and often secretive. It is characterized by uncertainty, dreaminess, and softness of expression.

Part of Rustam talks about the male image as a support and soil. The earth and the mountains corresponds to the firmness, strictness, concentration. It is the Foundation of all that is stable and unchangeable. This is a symbol that stands for order.
And so they exist from the beginning of time to the present day, complementing and transforming under the influence of each other.

"Bike ride"

A new work for Urbanmorphogenesis continues the search for the author's visual techniques and their application in the urban environment. The search for rhythm from distortions has led to comparing them with the winding bike paths and sidewalks that permeate the city and its streets and thus closely intertwining with the context of the place.

In this story, I laid pleasant memories of a sunny autumn day spent in the pleasant company of my wife and friend. With my work, I wanted to remind you about the opportunity to take your loved ones, bicycles and have a good time cycling.

"Immersion" For Present Perfect Festival Saint Petersburg 2018

The mural painting "Immersion" was specially created for the Present Perfect Festival, which in 2018 was held in the Port of Sevkabel (St. Petersburg). In a large-scale painting, two main motives were proposed: the sound wave and the sea theme. The work is perfomed in turquoise shades, which give a hint to the color of water of a sea, and water depicted as an intergral part of space. It is also intresting that this color is complimentary or oposite to the red brick, from which most of the buildings in the port of Sevkabel are built. The comprehension and depiction of water and its fluidity as a philosophical issue is combined with the rhythm of the details of the composition for the purpose to ring the bell of the rythms of the electronic music.


I like to draw such works where I turn to the theme of the yard and childhood. So I rest. I like to alternate these plots with more complex themes and techniques. It's like a shuttle run from simple to complex. This prevents you from burrowing into yourself and your own ideas.

I especially like it when I manage to put my work in context. This is perhaps the main difference and advantage for me of working on the street from working in a workshop, that there is an opportunity to immerse myself in work as much as possible. There is excitement in this – to find an organic combination of location and solutions that you can draw there.

Short video by Kirill Kurbatov about my activities. From it, you can find out how I started as a graffiti writer, what inspires me, as well as fragments of the workflow.

"Geologists" 2022
In the summer of 2022, Andrey Kalugin and I visited the Trans-Baikal Territory and made a series of facades there. The place where we worked is called Novaya Chara - a small village in the north of Transbaikalia. It attracted with its compactness and remoteness from big cities. It was interesting to work in this context. It is unique for its location, but more for its history and nature. Part of this we have conveyed in the works.
"The Big Way"

The work is dedicated to people who participated in the construction of the Baikal-Amur mainline, and now live and work in Novaya Chara. The purpose of this work is to convey the mood of that time, to show the grandiosity of the construction and the images of volunteer builders: strong, young,
united by one idea. People are the center of the composition, it is they who control the machines and equipment to create a route that ensures the involvement of the north of Transbaikalia in the life of the country.


"Awakening"

This work is about the uniqueness of the environment of the north of Transbaikalia.
The Medvezhy Pass, part of the route along the Kodar Ridge, is known among locals and tourists.
The image of the awakening bear is symbolic and speaks of the harsh beauty of the local nature and its inhabitants.
"Nomadic"

This work continues the theme of the uniqueness of the local nature. Charsky sands and reindeer are symbols of the Trans—Baikal North.
The work is called "Nomadic": deer and sand dunes, carried by taiga winds, roam.


"Geologists"

The work is dedicated to the discovery of the Udokan copper deposit.
It shows a group of geologists looking at a mountain rich in copper ore. The discovery of the deposit is of great importance for this region.
This work is a sign of respect and appreciation to all the participants of the Udokan geological exploration expedition who made a significant contribution to the development of the field.

This mural painting is an artistic reflection on the issue of modern buyer-seller relationship. Cultural traditions of Tatarstan and contemporary people of Almetyevsk city represented in the images of the artwork. The main concern of the artist was to reveal that communication between buyer and seller in life has been gradually replacing by digital technologies, such as online purchases, self-service ticketing, credit cards, QR and barcodes.

The mural painting is 1500 м².
