Alexander Ponomarev

The Russian artist, Aleksander Ponomarev 1918 – 1973, trained as a nautical engineer and unsurprisingly his art work is in some way or other connected to the most variable of substances: water. His projects earned him international recognition throughout Europe and USA and invariably took the form of events and installations. These and other such preoccupations such as surface tension and the interaction between object and person contain within them a fertile frame of reference for architects, interior designers and town planners, providing stimulating cross-over ideas for the potential application to the built environment.
