Dear Sirs,
I’ve been following the exhibitions of your gallery for a while now and am very interested in the artwork that you show. I am writing this letter in order to introduce myself and my recent work, as I feel that our aesthetic interests have some commonality.
I am a sculptor and installation artist with the background in electronic engineering. I’ve been making my own work for close to 10 years, and produced over 70 projects. Most of my work reflects my background in engineering and is composed, or utilize electronic components to create complex and intricate sculptural forms.

I will appreciate the time you take to look at my work and any feedback you might have.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for you time,
Best regards,
Anatoly Karpov











Anatoly Karpov Artist Statement

I've been working with high technology equipment for many years. This equipment consists of various electronic elements with unique aesthetic qualities and textures which I call “personalities.” I started having ideas and visions of strange structures and their unique positioning on a two dimensional and three dimensional plane. During my lifetime electronics made a huge leap in advancement and development. The first time I have envisioned those elements in different form was at the age of ten. I didn't understand what it was but had a fierce desire to find out. This desire awakened my mind and pulled me into the world of high technologies leading me not only to pursue electronic engineering as a profession, but also use this language in my creative process. The creation of these art works allows me to "fall back into childhood," by playing and rearranging those pieces into a different aesthetic order.






Anatoly Sergeevich Karpov was born in 1947 in St. Petersburg, Russia.
He holds PhD in Electronic Engineering from the Forest Technical Academy, where he was a full time researcher and a senior faculty member in the Electronic Engineering Department for over 35 years. Anatoly Karpov has developed some projects in Russia. His work was published in magazines: “The Industry of today”, “Commercial of forest”, “Forest industry”, and was invited to as a guest on (600 second ) on NTV (central TV station in Russia). After immigrating to the United States he continued developing his artwork.
