Alexander Kosolapov (Russian: Александр Семёнович Косолапов; born January 1, 1943) is a Russian-American sculptor and painter.
In the late 1950s Kosolapov attended the school of the Surikov Moscow Art Institute.
[1] After his emigration, the artist played a critical role in assisting in the gathering of materials and clandestine distribution of the unofficial Soviet art magazine A-YA, edited by fellow Russian emigre Igor Chelkovski.
Since his Soviet-era canvases (one of which was displayed in Times Square in 1982), he has produced more modern works, including Mickey Mouse sharing a conversation with Jesus, Tatlin's Tower leaning away from the clutches of a skeleton, and a Mercedes sporting an onion dome.
