About the artist: He was born on March 31 in Kyiv. Alexander's father was the artist Oleg Zhivotkov (1933), and his brother was the artist Sergei Zhivotkov (1961-2000). He graduated from the Taras Shevchenko Republican Art School (1975-1982) and the Kyiv State Art Institute (1981-1988).
Since 1987 - participant of regional and foreign exhibitions. Since 1989 - a member of the Union of Artists of Ukraine; since 1992 - a member of the group "Picturesque Reserve". In the artistic circles of Ukraine Alexander Zhyvotkov is known as an original master of painting. Since 2007, the artist has been experimenting with non-traditional materials: cardboard, paper, gauze, sand, earth, soot, stone, and in this he has achieved convincing skill. This artistic "exploration" is a way to increase the expressiveness of each new work and enhance the viewer's perception. Painting on canvas, on wooden boards, as well as on other materials, which are artistically transformed at the hand and imagination of the master, his sculptural objects - all are subject to the eternal dialogue of "being-non-being".
Alexander Zhyvotkov is a rare phenomenon that combines an artist and a philosopher, his great knowledge in the field of prehistoric culture of mankind. Back in the late 1980s as a painter Zhivotkov found his own sign system (fish, figure or head of a woman, cross, bird, etc.). This symbolism, which you will always find in all his works, obviously echoes the archaic images of Christian iconography.
