A conversation with Rustam Hasanov, a Russian-American figurative artist currently practicing in Atlanta, GA. Hasanov is a multidisciplinary artist with a career in animation and character design. Inspired to rediscover the artistic passions of his youth - nonreactive to audience or commercialism - Hansanov has refocused on a ritualistic, and non-commodified practice. Hasanov creates rapid expressive gestural figures of his selected models - explore their condition as he emulates his own and merges the two. As a self-described introvert, through this practice, Hasanov seeks to connect.
