Sergey Inkatov, Tallinn
03.11.2010-28.11.2010
Sergej Inkatov was born in 1971 in Baku. He spend his childhood and teenage years
in Azerbaijan where he gained his first experiences in arts. He studied at the
Art School which is named after Azim Aslan Ogly Azimzade. His first teacher Enver Aliyev
was a well-known artist who graduated from the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg
and later dedicated his life to teach at the Art School in Azerbaijan.
Sergej Inkatov grew up in a family of German-Armenian origin where respect for
tradition and national culture was highly emphasized. Naturally, Sergej Inkatov could
have considered Baku to be his home town but unfortunate conditions made him
and his family leave their home country.
After their relocation, he continued his studies at the Art School Twer Oblast, named
after Gawrilowitsch Wenezianow; M.M.Marshow was teaching who was a master in glass art
design and a well-known Russian artist.
S. Inkatov combines elements of expressionism and realism in great harmony. A profound
world view is reflected in his bravura brushworks. On his canvas, the artist manages
to form a unity of a line and an area which yet, has a segregating character.
He has a sensible feeling for colors and light that reminds the viewer of a fine mosaic.
Hidden behind a decorative beauty one can see that he has a deep understanding
of the modern world and its dynamics.
Since 1994, S.Inkatov has settled down in Estonia which became his second home country.
With passion and love, the artist brings the beauty of the Old Town architecture very close to the viewer.
The name of the young artist became well known nationally and internationally.
Since 1998 S.inkatov has taken part in more than 40 exhibitions outside Estonia.
His works are well-known, not only in Estonia but also in The Czech Republic,
Latvia, Lithuania, the UK, Spain, Russia and the United States. His works can be found
in the collection of Tallinn's town hall, in the art foundation 'Newski-Prospect Gallery',
in the history museum in Narva as well as in private collections in and outside Estonia.
