About The Artist

Alexey Klokov was born in Russia in 1965. His first guide to the world of Art became avant-garde artist Anatoly Zverev that Alexey met in 1985. He received his professional degree of a restorer in 1991 at The Leningrad Higher School of Art and Industry (St Petersburg, Russia). From 1991 to 1994 he had his internship in restore workshops of the Hermitage (St Petersburg, Russia) and then in the Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow, Russia). After that he settled in a monastery for four years devoting himself to icon painting. It was this period of his life that affected the search for his own style of painting. Alexey Klokov’s first exhibition took place in 1998 in Moscow where he represented his monastery experience. Since then his paintings were exhibited throughout Russia and abroad in Japan, Austria, the UK, the USA and Canada.
