Abstract

Alexey Parshkov’s (born 1947) paintings are well known in Kuban region and abroad. The article is devoted to his theory of composition that has never been studied before. Compositions by the painter are based on a toroidal structure. The structure, according to Parshkov, is an expression of the geometry of space and interpreted by analogy with field and energetic processes. However, the philosophy of nature in this case has a poetic character, becomes the basis of a universal metaphor. Parshkov’s ideas were developed in intellectual atmosphere of the 1970s which is characterized by an interest in Gestalt theory, structuralism and semiotics. It was important for the author to study Russian icons through interpretations given by Pavel Florensky and Lev Zhegin. Parshkov’s theory of composition becomes the poetics of the universal and the self-poetics, allows us to find the meaning of his artworks. Among the parallels to his theoretical works, there is a “cupcupola-space” of Vladimir Sterligov or “hieratures” of Michail Schwarzman. Alexey Parshkov’s theory is an original author’s conception which reflects the intellectual and spiritual trends of the 70–80s.
