Engineers of Arts

Inal Savchenkov - a former member of the legendary “New Artists” group and Franz Rodwalt sculptor, graduated from the State Academy of Art & Design (named after A.Stieglitz), Gregory Strelnikov and Sergey Enkov— were aiming to solve such complicated aesthetic problems as converting any art-nonrelated information into a piece of art. By aligning Leningrad Neo-Expressionist stylistics with the new techniques, and thus synthesizing different forms of art, these authors have created a new artistic language. They collaborated with the “Kino” rock band, created animations and videos for “New Composers” and Sergey Kuryokhin.
