Alexander Kedrin was born in 1940 in Tashkent, there grew and matured as an artist, part of the under the influence of the ancient tradition of Oriental miniatures and ceramics, part of the under the influence of such a powerful wizard symbolic abstractions, what was Alexander Volkov, where young Kedrin caught in the last years of his life. In Tashkent Kedrin has become a recognized ceramist-монументалистом 30 years and wrote "on the table" abstract paintings in the style, which he called "metarealism" ("because not talking about what you see but what you feel and know what guess").

Creative and life foundations Kedrin was formed after thaw in the circle of communication with Moscow artists and poets; he was friends with Ernst Neizvestny, Bella Akhmadulina, Erik Bulatov, Andrei Voznesensky, Vladimir Nemukhin, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Nicholas Vechtomova, and many other leaders of the cultural underground 1970-х.

"I don't consider myself an innovator or avant-garde, but the continuer of traditions of Russian and world art. Traditionally, understanding the talent as an order, I overcame the temptation of modernism and spontaneous expression. Although in the Soviet Union of artists me why always-то considered avant-garde. I always considered himself a successor of the traditions of Russian painting", — write the artist, naming as their teachers in the first place Wassily Kandinsky, and then Joan Miro and Yves Tangi@

Creative way Alexander Kedrin what-то typical for the generation of the sixties — artists, who began life in art at the turn of the fifties and sixties of the XX century, also in the province, "on the outskirts of the national of the USSR", then govorili@

he was expelled from art school for organizing the exhibition "young abstractionist" (a few years before Khrushchev defeat Manege exhibition!). Since then and until 1990, when for the first time in the Union of artists of Uzbekistan held personal painting exhibition Kedrin, the artist did not put on public display their abstract Polota@

Studio Alexander was equipped in the basement Laundry room, he was taken in Hope Kashin — student Falk, a brilliant artist of the avant-garde 1920-х and the author of numerous socialist realist portraits and harvest festivals, written in Uzbekistan in 1930-60-х. In the basement Kedrin myself installed a muffle stove, began to paint and burn ornamental dishes in a traditional style and transferred to large forms, and as a result became one of the outstanding monuments of Uzbekistan, placing a huge ceramic mural public buildings and metro stations Tashkent@

All these years he continued to write his "materialistische abstraction", never putting them on display, even close acquaintances. Apparently, so painful were the memories of the dispersal and subsequent exhibitions iskljucenih@

the Authorities have rejected it, as many members of his generation. After the collapse of the USSR is quite successful and recognized artist decided to go to the US. The picture he took out containers — they accumulated so much in the Studio over the years of "lurking" paintings. Twenty years Kedrin lives in the States, is actively involved in the artistic life. In the fall of 2003 he represented the United States at the International Biennale of painting in Florence. His work is sold in many major Museum and private Kollektsia@

Ernst Neizvestny: "I see no fundamental difference — except, of course, in materials and technologies — between Sasha's painting and ceramics. Both — nagrudnie. In his cosmic rhythms have what I generally close in art, @sacred mdash beginning, the feeling that is associated with the mystery of being, the cosmic abyss".
