Harlequin, as one of the hypostases of Trickster, is a shadow and complicated figure. Being outside of moral and social values, he is able to easily and freely turn everything upside down. He is a creative beginning itself, demiurge of changes and transformations. The humankind gives the role of Trickster for the artist, the servant of art, balancing on the border of the shadow and the real. By presenting his creativity and his extraordinary self to the world, the artist cannot of course be liked by everyone. And any regular attack, ruining his clownish façade, hurts but not destroys him. By taking the blows of fate and by licking the bleeding woods, he raises his head again and again, with stormy applause defending his right to be. The plastic of the black spot is identical to that of Harlequin himself. In this way, the author underlines their harmonic similarity, in which they are united and turned into a new evolutionary form.

Alexey Klokov's perception of the world of art and the trajectory of his life in it were formed due to Anatoly Zverev who carried along young Alexey into the world of avant-garde combining all the palette of genres and styles. Alexey Klokov has got professional education in 1986-1991, already after the death of his genial mentor, in a Leningrad Higher School of Art and Industry. The two-year probation in restoration workshops in Hermitage and Tretyakov Gallery became a momentous period when he was lucky to be literally in touch with the greatest masterpieces of Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin, Renoir, Van Gogh, Malevich, Kandinsky and others, learning from them "without words". Upon finishing the probation, Alexey made an unexpected choice and settled down in an orthodox monastery where during four years he learned the secrets of gilding and drawing by cognizing from inside not only the matter of iconography but also the deepest power of Divine providence embodied in the image. Since 1998 Alexey Klokov began to create his own style based on his philosophical thoughts and synthesis of impressionism, fauvism, cubism, expressionism, and abstractionism. With the experience of a restorer, he skillfully applies in his art gold leaf, antique objects, coins and gold. He had 25 personal exhibitions, worked in Japan and United Kingdom. In 2011 he came back to Russia and joined the Creative Union of Russian Artists. During his life created more than 4,000 artworks.
