Alexander Anisimov

Alexander Anisimov and Alexander's Collection Workshop and Gallery announce its New 2025 Contemporary Rugs  exclusively commissioned for the production of a limited edition rugs to be displayed globally in America and Europe in 2025.

Together with strategic partner TCC Carpets, representing the brand in the US market, the first 10 designs of the collection are already on sale. The prototypes took more than 4 months to be produced and mark the starting point in opening up international markets for the new 'Discovery of Nature' collection.

All the designs are drawn in one way or another from observations of the largest design library in the world - nature. Its endless variations, exuberance and combination of colors never ceases to amaze. It continues to be a muse for many artists, allowing them to find an inexhaustible source for inspiration.

The new collection, designed by Alexander Anisimov, the artist and principal designer of ALEXANDER'S COLLECTION, who is working in the West under the artistic alias Alex Sander, reveals his perception and vision of the beauty of nature and the ability to tailor the designs for high-end interior decoration, as the brand has always been known for over 25 years of history. It was the brand leader who made a revolutionary breakthrough in the design of area rugs, bringing this product to the level of haute couture art.

What is the new collection's innovation?

 We don’t try to show the world some masterpieces endlessly. It is impossible to keep on creating masterpieces for 25 years. The task of the artist was different. The new collection is a successful translation of the designs into a universal form for using in modern interiors: to make them perfectly match the majority of modern interiors, making it easier for the designers to select accessories.  

To judge whether it is successful or not it is not for us to judge. The market itself responds to it accepting or not accepting our product offer.

Breakdown of all stereotypes, this is how the works of Alexander Anisimov, collector, artist and designer, devoted his lifetime to High Art, are characterized.

 His constantly used statement about finding and working only with geniuses finds its confirmation in the works exhibited as part of his private collection. The amazing ability to identify genius in an artist, to select the best of his work, is translated into the unique artworks of his workshops, where unconventional materials are used to make artistic images. 

These are the finest threads of silk for embroidery, capable of conveying watercolor smudges, and inlaying precious woods, hand finishing art print and combining it with Swarovski crystals and 24K gold leaf.

Swarovski. Digital Universe Collection

The collection consists of three works made in collaboration with the artist Inna Bagaeva, the author of the idea as a collaboration of two artists, a rare marriage of the two artists' work simultaneously.

'Digital Universe', the very first work of the collection. A massive canvas of 100 x 198 centimeters. Thousands of crystals, thousands of stars, gathering into galaxies, forming a star scan and the web of the universe. Humanity flies through this space chaos towards other civilizations. The design of dots and dashes is like a digital message to eternity.

'Matrix', the second work made as reverse work in graphics. The Matrix theory is embodied in the artist's reinterpretation of the image. The matrix world, shaky and barely perceptible, is scattered into numerous images. Thousands of pearls of different sizes are fixed on the surface of the artwork, adding to 3D effect of the image and play of lights reflection from nacre.

Swarovski finds a home in high art

Swarovski crystals are used to decorate everything. From fashion world, to furniture ornamentation. Alexander's Collection gallery has decided to read this decorative material, combining it with unique and one-of-a-kind works of graphics, turned into large decorative panoramas.  

From black and white graphics and crystals as black diamonds to snow-white pearls. A scattering of tiny crystals gathers into a single picture, creating an effect similar to impressionist paintings. 

If we stand very near to the artwork, we see nothing but dots and shapeless structures assembled from them, the artist applies crystals of different sizes over them, giving an illusion of chaos on the surface. Similarly, with impressionists, we see nothing but endless strokes of paints.

But it is worth to step back at a distance and true metamorphoses are revealed in front of us, the chaos is scattered and formed into a complete composition, forcing the viewer to step back even further in the hope to see the magic and feel the artwork to perfection. A work of art of the highest caliber is actually being made.

As a base, the artist takes a special paper, print on it and then the design is manually finished with black ink.

It is  Fine Art Matt Paper, smooth texture. Hahnemuhle Museum Etching is an exceptional 350 gsm weight paper, smooth textured, natural white, 100% cotton pulp, acid free, specially designed for art reproduction and exceptional saturation and D-max.

Giclée prints can provide virtually perfect color reproduction in a long lasting format. It is as close to the real thing as you're likely to find — and at a much lower cost than the genuine article. For artists, fine art prints are an important way to make a living.

Giclee prints are typically more expensive than other types of prints because they are produced using specialized equipment and materials and require a high level of technical skill and expertise to produce accurately and consistently.

A high quality archival giclee the same size as your original can be valued at 1/3rd of the cost of the original. Giclée prints hold their colour and value for much longer than regular prints. In fact, they are known to last approximately 200 years before they start to fade. They are museum-quality prints that are built to last.

Here comes the ultimate face-off between giclee prints and lithographs, as both have high value. Starting with giclee, it is valued higher due to the use of high-resolution inkjet printers in the creation of the artwork.

Giclee prints are more long-lasting and durable as compared to lithographs.

Contrary to what some might think, reproducing artwork will not decrease the value of an original. In fact, giclée prints can actually increase the value of an original. Also because of the high quality, these prints can often increase in value over time.

After receiving the initial design, the painstaking work of fixing Swarovski crystals begins in strict compliance with the artist's idea. It sometimes takes months of time, but the effect resulting exceeds all expectations.

May-June 2025 

The world will see a large-scale triptych inspired by an American watercolor artist Misha Lenn and made by Alexander Anisimov, one of the famous textile artist.

Rubelli fabric with gold threads woven into the base is used, giving a light dusting of gold dust on the surface. The work itself is hand embroidered with silver and gold threads.

Three works of art will be shown to the audience, united by a common theme: from the series “Travels” - “Theatrical Venice”, ‘Walking through Hong Kong’ and ”Dancing Paris”

The aim was to show different cities and countries through the traveler's feelings about a particular city and the relationships between people. The cities are shown here not through recognizable buildings, but through details, symbols, feelings and emotions. All symbols are delicately woven into the images, leaving the viewer the chance to find the hidden signs themselves.

And connecting everything that was found and seen by the viewer, he indirectly becomes a participant in the action taking place on the artwork. 

The faces of the protagonists are half depicted, a signature style of the artist recognizable throughout the world. It also symbolizes dualism, the opposition of mind and body, mental and physical, soul and physical body.

Rubelli, one of the world's most renowned makers of premium textiles and Alexander Anisimov (Alexander's Collection), a niche couture brand for the first time introduce fabric as a quint essence of decoration and High Art.

Art workshops of the world-famous Alexander's Collection open a new trend, intended to be introduced to the art market as a new look at contemporary art and its organic application in the world's most iconic interiors.

13 craftsmen in a small workshop create museum level artworks in collaboration with renowned artists, using their original works to translate them into never before used materials at museum exhibit level. This is Art for a select few with aesthetic preferences above the stereotypes imposed by the art market. Not every artist is suitable for this purpose, no matter how famous he or she is.

The new trend in contemporary art requires tremendous work to tailor an artist's original artwork in order to bring it to life in unique materials. It takes from 6 months to 2 years for the world-class masters to make masterpieces of this kind in a unique piece.

Gold embroidery masters reproduce the artist's designs by means of hand embroidery in silk, gold and silver threads over premium specially selected fabrics.

Alexander's Collection and its principal designer drew attention to the unique fabrics of Rubelli, Italy, to develop the unique textures and effects required for their work. The construction of these fabrics and their unusual application elevates them to the category of high art.  

For the first Rubelli fabrics, the patterns are selected to reflect Alexander's Collection's demand for quality and uniqueness.
