Alexander Tinei is one of the most acclaimed artists
of his generation, mostly known for creating figurative paintings. His art
reflects the problems and ideas of our time, especially the tendency to search
for identity and a sense of self. His signature pale figures, usually marked
with blue lines, emerge from distinctive spaces, and are the main aspects of
his unmistakable style.
In his
latest series, Tinei moves past the psychological depiction of his figures,
shifting his focus on creative
freedom instead,
with an almost playful use of materials. He brings back his unique figures but
in a much braver, more experimental way, both in terms of use of colour and painting
techniques. With the adoption of a new graphic method, the linocut, he provides
brand new perspectives and yet unseen aesthetic qualities in his art.
