Alexander Cć Calligrapher

Age: 28 years

Bravely reveals his face (unlike many other street artists) and has been taking on the organization and curatorship of the annual festival of contemporary street art KaliningrArt from 2019.

Alexander Cć’s signature handwriting is modern calligraphy. The artist redefines letters and strokes: from meanings to visuals. «The plasticity and dynamics of a stroke can carry much more information than the meaning,» says the author and bombards the city streets with calligraphy, the columns of the trestle bridge (where Alexander was the curator of the Urban Fest festival, 2021), and the walls of the House of Culture in Kaliningrad.

Created the largest (more than 450 square meters) calligraphy in the Kaliningrad region as part of the project City Talk in 2019. In the meantime, the project KaliningrArt won the award in «VDvizhenie» in the category «Creative idea of the Year». As a graphic street artist won second place at the festival Sketch. Took part in the exhibitions Inclus, Kaliningrad, Contemporary mood; London, E-fest, Moscow, 2021, Nothing is wrong, Rostov-on-Don, 2021.

In 2021, the KaliningrArt street art festival under the organization of Alexander Cć attracted more than 20 local and guest artists. The project is dedicated to collecting and exploring street art. Additionally, how street interventions are embedded in the urban environment, shaping the visual appearance and code of the city. Large-scale murals were created by local artists as part of the festival. This year, the first murals of the city were added to that list. KaliningrArt is a community, a festival, a film, a collection of street works, and another manifestation of Alexander Calligrapher (as he is called in the street environment).
