Raphael Canossa

Raphael Сanossa, born in 1968 in Tarusa, is French Jewish painter working in Jerusalem and Aix-en-Provence, close to Paul Cezanne’s historic Atelier des Lauves, now a museum. After graduation from Tarusa division of Kaluga Arts Academy, he further studied painting under the guidance of Tatyana Schevchenko - daughter of one of Jack of Diamonds founders Alexander Schevchenko (1883-1948) and Magdalina Verigo, pupil of principal Knack of Diamonds artist Ilya Mashkov (1881-1944). He belongs to “Tarusa association of Abstract and Suprematist painters”(TASPA), which included Edik Shteinberg, Igor Vulokh, Jury Zheltov. Сanossa is member of La Maison des Artistes and Jerusalem Artists (Amani Jerushalaim). Jean-Claude Marcadé, spécialiste de l'avant-garde, said that “while exploring the artistic language of Kazimir Malevich in new historic era, Raphael Сanossa also tries to get to the deepest depths of his metaphyscal philosopy which serves as inexhaustible source of inspiration for a truly devoted painter”. Russian art expert Elena Basner, creator of Saint Petersburg Museum of Russian Avant-Garde, noted that “as a painter, Raphael Сanossa attempts to combine endless artistic courage of the masters of the “Jack of Diamonds” with the vivid brillaince of the images of Mikhail Larionov and, in addition, to balance all this with the rational geometry and Olympian calm of Malevich and Klyun». In his paintings, Canossa reinterprets Suprematist motifs, enriching his works with new meanings, allusions, and connotations. Canossa's works have been exhibited at Galerie Popoff & Cie (Paris), Kabinett Gallery (Berlin), Gallery of the Artists' Union of Latvia (Riga), Elysium Gallery (Vilnius), and were in the collections of conductor Yuri Temirkanov (St. Petersburg) and conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky (Moscow, Paris, Stockholm), violinist and conductor Igor Dawidowitsch Oistrach (Moscow, Brussels), and flutist Alexandra Vavilina (St. Petersburg).
