Alexey was born in Leningrad 2 December 1964. His father Boris Parygin was a social psychologist. Alexey studied at the graphics faculty of the Herzen University from 1982 to 1989. He organized the art group “Union № 0” in Leningrad in 1986–1989 and created the art squatters’ workshop “Nevsky-25” in Leningrad in 1987–1990. Joined the Professional Artists’ Union of Russia in 1994, the Art Critics Association (ACA) member since 2003. PhD in Art History with the thesis Silk Screening as a phenomenon of the 20th Century art (2002).
Since the mid—1980s, the artist perfected printed graphic technics of serigraphy, linocut, woodcut, lithography, cardboard engraving and collagraphy). The artist's works are in many museum collections in Russia (State Catalogue of the Museum Fund of Russia)[1] and the world. The artist lives and makes art in his workshop at the Benois House (St. Petersburg, Russia).
The nature of creativity
In 1980-1990 Parygin concentrated on easel oil painting outside and using models at the studio, experimented with various paint foundations such as canvas, plywood, glass and other media and used texture and relief techniques.
From Aleksandr Kamensky’s article (1988):
The works create new poetry, which involuntarily rivals with habitual esthetic stereotypes. For instance, we accept as a common notion to worship joyously the classic beauty of St. Petersburg, its harmony and stately grandeur. This exposition does have variations of that sort. But observe “Night Nevsky” by Parygin. Rough to the touch texture, dark abyss. In the darkness urgent lights explode. They bring forth immediate spiritual angst. One does not regard the regal magnificence of the urban landscape-it is neither cast aside, nor left behind the curtains, as dramatism of modern perception takes over. One regards not a city museum for curious crowds, but one beholds the habitat of our days where we seek, love, fight, suffer. That art defines perception...[2]
From Mikhail German’s article (1991):
...from my point of view, a very serious, worthy and professional exhibition. It's nice that there is a solid culture of color, ...there is a persistent desire to express their feelings of life, their artistic vision.[3]
From the middle of the 90-ies the artist’s main studies subject matter and experiments became signs and sign systems as communicative link of the contemporary society. From 1997 the artist created a series of extended multimedia projects Contemplation of Money, Art is a Business, Art in the Forest.
From Nikolay Blagodatov's article (2002):
His works show high culture, erudition and taste, it is hard to favor any particular piece. Moreover, the artist prefers options on a particular plastic theme, as he himself puts it. He uses various in techniques, and revisits it in different periods of creativity. He believes his plastic theme conveys the plastic state. The state arises and manifests in very different ways, yet retaining its basic sign. Perhaps this art form blends both the sign and its notion.[4]
Since 2000, Parygin has been developing the utopian concept of the form of art after the death of art—Posturbanism Art Project / PostUrbanism.
Artist's books
Since 1989, Parygin has been contributing to artist's books. His first editions featured visual series of the author's poetic text: Pesok (The Sand). Leningrad. 1989; Circulation—5 numbered and signed copies; Tsvetnye zvuki (The Coloured Sounds). Leningrad. 1989. Circulation—5 numbered and signed copies;[5][6] Zelenaia kniga (The Green Book). Leningrad. 1989. Circulation—6 numbered and signed copies;[7][8] Moia mansarda (My Attic). Leningrad. 1990. Circulation—6 numbered and signed copies.[9] And the artist’s book Krasnye karliki (The Red Dwarfs). Saint Petersburg. 1990. Circulation—8 numbered and signed copies.[10][11]
From Elena Grigoryant’s article (2019):
Another important direction in contemporary Russian artists’ books, with many precedents set by the Futurists, is the fusion of poetic and artistic talent of artist-authors blessed with Doppelbegabung. The intimate relationships between text and image is enhanced when author and artist are one and the same person and engage in an inter-art discourse that leads to creations that are truly unified works of art. An artist who achieved equal mastery in more than one medium and made different arts merge in his personality was no doubt Alexey Parygin. His poetic collections <...> represent an attempt to synthesize text and plastic figurative form in books where literary and visual languages are calculated to have a simultaneous effect on the reader/viewer. The work of Alexey Parygin have common features that are not accidental as the books were created at more or less the same time.[12]
