Overview

Where would civilization be without the four seasons?
They provide us with hope expectations and a sense of drama; they also engender a constant sense of movement in our predictable lives--and something we can always talk about
And where would Western civilization be without the combination of passion, visual stimulation and constant experimentation brought to us exclusively through Russian art works?
For centuries, Russian artists have kept pushing hard against local traditions or material limitations; boring juxtapositions and official disapproval; color and movement.
All for us: for their appreciative, often giddily amazed followers Art lovers everywhere in search of a challenging icon to chew on an idea to mull over can always satisfy their craving for movement and variety and something different to talk about!
For art lovers and collectors who may have lost track of the uniquely delicate yet intellectually muscular character of Russian art, this introduction to contemporary Russian art trends and history is just what the weatherman ordered!
It's time to begin your personal journey toward being an icon.

About the Author

Yuri Tsapayev is a writer, composer, and filmmaker. He has works appearing or forthcoming in over a dozen venues, including Arguments and Facts, New Life, Artodox Publishing, Art Fog Media, and Paralux Productions. When he’s not amusing strangers with his writing, Yuri is most likely frightening friends with his new film ideas.
Yuri Tsapayev was born in Simferopol, Crimea Republic. He studied music at the Simferopol School of Music and graduated from the State University of St. Petersburg (Russia) with an MS in mathematics.
During Russia's famous Perestroika period, he established fine art galleries in Novgorod, Tver, and Moscow. In the late 1990s, Yuri published a newspaper Artodox Art Review, dedicated to arts and culture.
Yuri moved to San Francisco in 2001 to pursue a career as an art dealer. He traveled extensively throughout the United States exhibiting his collection of contemporary Russian art. Despite his focus on art, Yuri did not forget his musical roots: during this same time, he composed and recorded three albums under the name Indie Knight.
In 2008, while attending the Hollywood Film Institute, he made an impressive transition to filmmaking with the sensitive and critically acclaimed short film Tick Knock, officially selected for the Barcelona and Chicago short film festivals in 2009.
Driven by a passion for filmmaking, Yuri quickly honed his skills and earned a reputation for his stylish visuals that complemented complex storylines. Early in 2009, he put it all on the line to make a feature film Contractor's Routine (Buffalo Niagara Film Festival official selection, 2010).
Yuri Tsapayev is currently working as a director and producer on his next dramas at Paralux Productions and as editor-in-chief at Art Fog Media.
