Expressive portraits of imperfection by Lex Gorlov

lex-gorlov-intro
Lex Gorlov, also known under pseudonym Lexxx:Karma, is an artist from Saint Petersburg, Russia. In his work Lex likes to explore the themes of imperfection in human beings, the ephemerality of fear and the certainty of death. Without being bound to one technique (Lex mostly paints but doesn’t shy away from drawing, collage and digital editing) he explores the dark in an expressive manner. I really like how Lex encloses these bleak themes in his work and still uses a lot of different colors and styles; never losing sight of the underlying themes that works as a thread that links all his pieces together.

You can find more of Lex’s work on his website or Tumblr blog. Enjoy!
