Alexey Shalaev

Anyone who has walked along an old street in Moscow knows that it is a city of memories evoked. The buildings and the boulevards of the city under changing skies tell of lives and moments, colours made sublime in their passing. This is the work of Alexey Shalaev, an artist living and working in Moscow today, who finds the memories of its architecture and shows us its still frame and living breath through the pictures he paints.

Anna Bourne Galleries is deeply honoured to have been chosen to represent the work, for the first time in the UK, of one of Russia’s foremost national artists, Alexey Shalaev. 

Alexey has held exhibitions in Hong Kong, Moscow, Paris, Prague and US and his work is displayed in Russia’s prestigious ‘Central House of Artists’ as well as in the Russian State Duma and the Interior Ministry. Since 2004, Alexey has been a member of the MOOSKH International Art Fund and his works are in the collections of ‘The Sheremetyevo International Airport’ and ‘The Academy of Management in the Russian Interior Ministry’.
