Evening

Anton Kupriyanov was born in 1991 in the village of Bolshiye Uki, in the Omsk Region,  Siberia.  Moving to the city of Tara, he began at a very young age, to attend a children's art school.  Later, he entered the Omsk Pedagogical University, "Design Department ". After graduation he started to work at the Tara Drama Theatre, as an artist-decorator. To describe his works, Anton Kupriyanov uses the concepts of "gloomy impressionism", "naive realism" and "cloudy romanticism". The artist depicts urban landscapes and countryside landscapes, which have a special romance. The bright colors of the works seem to challenge the daily routine, while not aiming to idealize the atmosphere. In addition to the landscape, Kupriyanov creates plot compositions: meeting friends in a new place, a sunset reflected on dark walls, or a look at the evening city.  Since 2016, the artist is a member of the Sugrob creative association. Anton paint stories from his everyday life. Evening streets, road landscapes and the recurring theme of a constant urban development.  Reminiscent of Edward Hooper and David Hockney, but with his own stunning way of handling light, Anton is increasingly recognized in the art world.
