Many well-known art critics in Russia value the works by U.Lavrentev high and say that he is "a master of a complicated allegoric painting", an artist "who creates his own mythological and poetical conception of life".
The works by U.Lavrentev draw attention not only because they are whimsically decorative, but because they are philosophically monumental as well. Some of his artworks at the same time remind you of ancient cuneiform and of modern picture-writing, they give an impression of some sense lines reflected in symbols and of wonderful colorful patterns and traceries, giving you pleasure by complex play on colors and forms.
The works by U.Lavrentev can be found in State Art Museum in Saratov, in the Ministry of Culture of Russia, and also in galleries and private collections in Russia, Latvia, Germany, Belgium, the USA, the UK, the Netherlands and others. |

The subjects often stylized, blurred, repeated or broken down into basic forms so that it becomes unrecognizable. Intangible subjects such as thoughts, emotions, and time are often expressed in abstract art form. |
