Neo-analytical constructivism this is the name of new art movement that Russian artist Ilya Kukushkin created. He is living in Europe more then ten years, but has not lost the artistic traditions of Russian art, Russian avant-garde of the last century, originated at a time in our country, abstractionism, constructivism and analytical skill.

An important artistic breakthrough Ilya Kukushkin made at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the class of Mrs. Prof. Rissa discovering figurative direction, in which futuristic elements, an understanding of shapes and colors are located between Hard-edge and traditions of iconography. Where line –is  a line. Touch of the brush and strokes are invisible. The plane is a color space. The selected color is always belongs only to it’s suitable form. In the combination of color, shape, space and harmony the artwork is born.

Color shapes in the space construct an object and deconstruct it in the same time in the direction of abstraction.
The light power of Ilya’s compositions is created by the construction of neighboring color planes, and achieves a single-layer paint level.

Vanguard artist Pavel Filonov carries along Kukushkin with his point of view of archaic forms, plastics and the perception of the totality that can be decomposed into its constituent privately with individual forms. As Malevich Kukushkin tries to turn a shapeless mass of colors in to the general layer color sound. The composition of color planes and the game creates the overall sound of the work. The composition of color planes creates the overall sound picture. The generality of his works create the beginning of the unique world, never seen before, and this picturesque world seems so fair.
