Speerstra Gallery Switzerland presents Alex Kuznetsov "Horizons"

21 September - 31 October 2023

"Horizons" invites you to dive into the world of Alex K. Smith. Let yourself be transported to a place where the horizon line occupies a central place. This exhibition is an experience for all those who appreciate art. The artist invites us to push the limits of conventional perspectives and encourages us to see the world in a new light.

Speerstra Gallery is pleased to present abstract artist Alex Kuznetsov's  fourth solo exhibition in Switzerland. Through his unique take on the perception of the horizon, the artist takes the viewer on a journey exploring the power of color, form and space.

Alex Kuznetsov's career began in the 90s. He was one of the very first graffiti artists in the former USSR. In 2010 the artist goes from the wall to the canvas with a style of painting that is his own "abstract spraypainting" also called abstractism. His first exhibitions explore an abstract universe, built around the dynamism of movements and colors of sprays. On his canvases, he shares the adrenaline and spontaneity of a graffiti artist. He then chooses a new aesthetic approach for his works by using acrylic paint. The delicately mastered technique opens an immediate perspective in contemporary art. He approaches abstract series of luminous formats that spontaneously gives us to interpret a landscape, in the manner of a pareidolia.

The line is the starting point of the series of works that compose the exhibition "Horizons". Each painting is organized around this line that comes to be irresistibly inscribed in our minds as a horizon.
