Biography

BORISOV Leonid Konstantinovich

June 29, 1943 (Leningrad) — January 6, 2013 (Saint-Petersburg)

Painter, sculptor

Since childhood Borisov took interest in drawing; he attended art studios and designed school wall newspapers. He was not educated in art institute. Borisov was under great impression of abstract art at the American Exhibition in Sokolniki in 1957.

After school, Borisov was interested in radio engineering; in 1968 he graduated from the M. A. Bonch-Bruevich Electro-technical Institute of Communication in Leningrad. He worked as an engineer until the beginning of 1980s.

In 1970 Borisov became acquainted with the artist A. Leonov, who was expelled from the Academy of Arts because Leonov’s manner of painting differed from the canons of socialist realism. Later Borisov was close to the Leonov’s style. Due to Leonov, Borisov became member of the circle of Moscow artists; he became acquainted with E. Shteinberg, I. Kabakov, V. Nemukhin, D. Plavinsky and others.

Borisov’s creative manner was formed under the influence of Malevich’s geometrical compositions. He also was interested in the group Dvizhenie (“Movement”), which was engaged in development of different versions of geometric abstraction in three-dimensional space with technical elements (kinetics).

Borisov was not admitted to Leningrad art circles, and so he together with Leonov moved to Moscow. In 1970s geometric abstraction became the leading idea of his works. The artist combined geometry of Russian avant-garde with minimalism and conceptualism.
