Alexander Savko (1957)
Alexander Savko is a significant contemporary Russian artist, one of the participants of a studio on Bauman street, the other ones including Avdey Ter-Oganyan, Vladimir Anzelm, Vladimir Dubossarsky. In his works, Alexander uses intellectual gamified postmodern schemes by reproducing images and codes belonging to other authors. The purpose of such art is to hint at a certain secret connection between antipathetic characters and backgrounds. However, his works often contain inexplicable and absurd clash of various cultural codes. Alexander’s works usually show characters of pop culture, comics, cartoons — sometimes all together — placed in the context of classical foreign and Russian art.
