Every one of us has ever painted his or her ideal landscape in dreams. What is it — your landscape? Buildings and architectural landmarks, real or fictional?
It is the landscape that is the main subject of Alexey Butirskiy's paintings. His works are realistic and, in a certain sense, devoid of pathetics. Butirskiy's paintings plunge the spectator into the atmosphere of cozy evening lanes. The gloomy city comes to life under his watchful gaze and it seems that a bit more and the reality frozen by the author will start taking its course.
