Artist's style and technique

Influenced by his Russian origins, André Lanskoy's work is characterized by abstract, dynamic and expressive representation. A great master of geometric form, color and texture, the artist was able to create vibrant, captivating compositions. Indeed, color and material play a key role in his creations. He experiments by superimposing different layers of color to create effects of matter and relief, giving rise to serifs of almost sculptural proportions. Finally, to enhance his luminous, eye-catching works, he frequently uses a black background.

André Lanskoy, between Russian and French abstraction

André Lanskoy (1902-1976) studied in Saint Petersburg and then Kiev, and initially envisaged a military career. He joined the White Army in Kiev during the 1917 revolution. From an early age, he showed a genuine interest in the visual expression of color in his everyday scenes, a passion that was to win him over. His talent and interest led him to change his career path.

André Lanskoy arrived in Paris in 1921 as a self-taught artist and turned to abstraction in 1938, spending many years experimenting with different currents. He frequented art institutions and befriended renowned painters. Lanskoy exhibited successfully and collaborated with the Galerie Louis Carré. His abstract period was influenced by Paul Klee and Kandinsky, and his gestural, colorful style earned him a reputation as a pillar of the "lyrical abstraction" movement, along with Olivier Debré. 

In 1951, Lanskoy created tapestry cartoons for the Aubusson factory, one of which was acquired for the liner France in 1955. He also explored collage and etching techniques. The artist is also interested in mosaics. 

Around 1960, André Lanskoy achieved total mastery of his abstract expression. His artistic style is characterized by organic forms, vivid colors and expressive gestures. His abstract paintings reflect the freedom and energy emanating from his experiments with vibrant shapes and colors.
