Robot Dreams: Paintings by Kriev (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977727060)

Kriev employs a bold color palette reminiscent of Fauvism and Expressionism. Direct descendant of the Hlebine School, he promotes the emancipation from classical proportions in favor of über-subjective perception. Adept of the Art Brut and Lowbrow movements, Kriev finds his artistic inspiration in popular culture, from the esoteric symbolism of the Mayans to Tim Burton's fantasy work. Cartoon surrealism infuses the paintings of this very imaginative artist. After various exhibitions in Europe, Kriev settled in New England. Recently, he participated in the group exhibition "Visions of the Uncanny" alongside Sci-Fi illustrator Vincent Di Fate and surrealist artist Daniel Venjean. He was also featured on the cover of Artscope magazine in the fall of 2015. robot-kriev.deviantart.com
