Abstract
The article examines the work of the Leningrad-Petersburg artist Alexander Rychkov-Galaktionov (b. 1948), a painter and graphic artist, a native of the I.E. Repin Institute of the Russian Academy of Arts (1973). A feature of his creative path was the substantiation by him in 1990 of his own creative method, called “energetism”, and the pictorial manner of “extantion”. His work is conventionally divided into three periods, the first of which is the groping of his author's self (1970s – 1980s). The second period is associated with the time of the historical era of "perestroika", some aspects of which the artist strove to convey in metaphysical pictorial language, departing from the previous realistic painting manner. This period can be called a transitional to the next, semi-figurative stage of creativity, at which the artist finally formulates his creative credo.
