Alexander Zorin came to the United States from the former Soviet Union in the mid ’90’s and currently resides in South Eastern Michigan. In the Soviet Union, aside from earning and Master’s degree in Fine Arts, he studied the Analytical Art Method, a style and school of art founded by the Russian avant-garde artist Pavel Filonov. Also known as “Universal Flowering”, it is a philosophy of drawing in which objects “flower” or “bloom” while intermingling with space and other objects. Through this technique and its integration of space the artist reveals the inner soul of the object onto the canvas.
Using this technique he channeled the art of the Middle Ages and created various icons and murals for church interiors. More about this can be found at his project -
