Alexander Aksinin (2 October 1949 – 3 May 1985) was a Soviet printmaker and painter. His sophisticated etching technique, precision and perfectionist attention to details earned him the sobriquet the “Dürer of Lviv”.[1] Art critics hailed him as “a 20th century Piranesi” for his dramatic and elaborate constructs.[2][non-primary source needed][dead link]

Early life and education[edit]

Alexander Aksinin was born to military cartographer Dmitriy Aksinin and railroad official Ludmila Aksinina. In 1972 he graduated from the Ukrainian Institute of Printing, where he specialized in Graphics Arts.

Career[edit]

From 1972 to 1977, Aksinin worked as an art editor in a publishing house, served in the Soviet army and then worked as an art designer in an industrial design office.

After 1977, he focused entirely on his art, in particular in the fields of printed and drawn graphics. Aksinin's solo exhibitions were held in Tallinn, Estonia (1979, 1986), Lodz, Poland (1981, 1985), Warsaw (1984), Lvov (1987) and others. He also took part in various group exhibitions in the USSR and abroad.[3][non-primary source needed]

Death[edit]

On 3 May 1985, on his way back from Tallinn, Alexander Aksinin died in a plane crash near Zolochiv, close to Lviv.

Art[edit]

A. Aksinin made 343 printed graphics including 3 unfinished works (mainly etching), about 200 unique drawn graphics in mixed techniques (gouache, India ink, color ink), as well as five oil paintings.[4][non-primary source needed]

Exhibitions[edit]

Aksinin regularly participated in the International Biennale of Small Graphics Forms in Łódź (Poland),[5][failed verification] where he was awarded Honorable Medals[5][failed verification] in 1979 and 1985.

In 2015 his etching series "Boschiana" was included in the permanent exposition of the Jheronimus Bosch Art Centerin's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands.[citation needed]
