ABOUT PAVEL RTUE

RTUE.jpg

Pavel gets inspiration from everything: it could be films, music, city, his mood, absolutely any eventuality. Starting in the 2000s with typical graffiti fonts, he was gradually working on his individual recognisable style and technology. His collages and compositions usually come as a result of experimenting, modelling and discovering new approaches and forms. Artist’s pieces combine abstract and figurative images, which transform into expressive compositions or fonts. In his last artworks Pavel is trying to find out a new way of interaction with the composition, inspired by his graffiti background. "I always crave for figurative solution and harmony" — he says, — "Usually, I combine different impressions which I extract from depths of my consciousness". Pavel states that he does not insist on one and only reading of his images, because "it is very essential to leave some private space for a spectator to reflect their inner ideas".
