“I owe a great debt to both worlds....to freedom and
Moiseenko during my studies in St. Petersburg”,
observes Andre.
Both new and old traditions of influence are
reflected in Andrei’s recent paintings. Andre makes
frequent and playful references to American iconic
symbols in his new work. Female football players,
jazz musicians, svelte dancers, archly sophisticated
diners in evening dress, sexy billiard players, even
beachgoers are given new meanings and arranged
into intersecting planes and fractured mosaics of
sensuality and power.
But success has its perils. In an interview
conducted between a bombardment of phone calls,
Andrei shows me a stack of legal papers. These
letters, back and forth to Singapore, have thwarted
a copyright thief from marketing crude copies of
Andre’s work in several Asian galleries. Andrei
Proutsouk smiles patiently.
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they say.
So I will take this as a compliment. These days I
don’t have time even to be angry,” he chuckles.
