About this artwork
Drawing from the "Layer Cake" series
The Layer Cake project is based on the principle of layer-by-layer superposition of pictorial elements. In painting, cooking, Photoshop, in which the artist made sketches, layers are superimposed on each other. Thus, under the influence of this analogy, a series of works appeared in which he dissects and structures classical painting, using it as a building material and creating pictorial collages. With the meticulousness… of a restorer, he “cleans” the pictorial heritage of Europe layer by layer, without adding anything of his own. Playing with various genres and mythological context, the artist builds his own worlds.

Alexander Nekrashevich, a graduate of the Republican Art School and the Belarusian Academy of Arts, masterfully engages with traditional media like oil on canvas, drawing on paper, and airbrush on aluminium. His techniques blend a playful postmodernist approach with the fluctuating aesthetics of metamodernism, oscillating between irony, sincerity, eclecticism, and purity. His art invites viewers into a thrilling emotional landscape, where enthusiasm and sarcasm, destruction and creation, coexist in vibrant harmony.
