Alexander Tokarev

In the autumn of 2008 “Alexander Tokarev. Man Orchestra” will open to visitors - first in the Exhibition Hall of the Tolmachy corpus of the Tretyakov Gallery, then in the Russian Museum’s Marble Palace. The title of the show reflects one of Alexander Tokarev’s brightest series and the main theme of his art. “Man Orchestra” is the artist himself, his perpetual symbolical self-portrait, as well as a visual counterpart of the most diverse musical themes and - in a broad sense - reflections about the image of the author in modern visual art, the image of the artist in his contemporary world and society.
