Publications

"Alexey Orlovski works with various techniques. Makes gravures on plywood and with dry needle, silk-screenings, lithography; he is engaged in photography, writes picturesque paints. And with this set of plastic languages he tells in essence, one story, remaining surrounded by the same repetitive from the leaf to the list of landmark reference point". ''Galina Elshevskaya''

"… he got his voice, his own theme in the polyphonic choir of modern art and started to speak as a Master, who can point and solve overarching objectives in creation and in life". ''A.Rider''

"The artist makes courageous collages, combining the blurriness of old photos and stamped crispness of packages from tea and wine labels "South Nights". All these represent the lessons of Favorski, of the expressionist, of Jasper Johns, Rotko, Raushenberg and his own, Of Alexey Orlovski's picturesque achievements..."

"The creative ingenuity of the current artist Alexei Orlovsky has no limits. He managed to work in all techniques known to art (including xylography, lithography and silkscreen printing), in addition he inventing several new ones. The master's creativity is truly popular"

"Alexei Orlovsky is extremely realistic: everything that he creates is familiar, self-experienced, felt by that to which his memory relentlessly returns, using different levels of fixation – from the documentary series to the colored image. In the cacophony of color and the large format of Orlovsky's works, the artist's picturesque temperament finds its expression, signifying the attitude toward life…".

"The typical Orlovsky is "summer", generously sprinkled with the brightest colors, sketched from the pieces of cotton blanket. This observation of crawling slowly during the day and changes in lighting. His lyrical hero is an idle eyewitness of his own tracks on the sand, an amateur of beautiful things – a teashop on Myasnitskaya, tea-striped tin boxes, round letters which the word "tea" is written with...". ''Ludmila Lunina''
