Russian Artist Vladimir Volegov
A selection of artworks bu Russian Artist Vladimir Volegov.
Vladimir was born in the city of Khabarovsk, on December 19, 1957. When he was two years old, his mother abandoned his father, took her son and moved to Sverdlovsk (formerly, Yekaterinburg). From then on, the family had often relocated from one place to another. The mother wanted Vladimir to become a doctor, but he had a strongly pronounced desire to paint. He was remarkably diligent and observant. While at school, his teachers often asked him to help create visual aids, and he earned his first money for drawing the slogan Long Live the First of May! when he was 13.
At the age of 14, he started to paint 3 m cinema posters, which later often added something special to the youth parties. In the city of Krivoi Rog, Vladimir entered an arts school, and during his time there, he discovered the art of many classical painters. The works by Ilya Repin and Valentin Serov had a particular effect on him.
In 1980, he entered the School of Graphics at Lvov Institute of Printing Art. At the entrance exam, he painted an illustration to the novel The Young Guard. The Admission Committee, having seen Vladimir’s work, unanimously made a decision about his admission, even though his Literature and the History of CPSU exam results were far from brilliant.
In 1982, in Krivoi Rog, Vladimir became the head of SPLAV artistic association. In 1986, he often visited Moscow, participated in international poster exhibitions, and in one of such contests, he won the first prize. In those very days, he visited the exhibition of Andreas Zorn’s works, which had a significant influence on him.
In 1988, he moved to Moscow in order to achieve his artistic potential. He started with painting portraits in Arbat, while at the same time he was looking for work. That was when his first contacts with publishing houses, advertising and record companies were established. They willingly employed him. With the emergence and development of digital technologies, Vladimir learned computer painting. He painted posters, covers for vinyl and CD albums, worked with advertising agencies for periodicals and street posters advertising. Throughout all that time, he never ceased to paint. The confused and hectic years of 1990 – 2000 were full of commercial orders, comic books, making sketches for promotional items. In order to survive, Vladimir accepted all the offers that came along.
In 1990, Vladimir started travelling to Europe, earning his living by painting portraits in the streets of Barcelona, Berlin, Vienna and other European cities. For 10 years, he participated in the Summer Portrait project in the Austrian town of Wels. Having seen his works on the vinyl and CD album covers he made for show business projects, Russian show business celebrities started making orders for painted portraits.
In 1992, during his summer work as a contracted painter in the park of Gardaland (Italy), in one of the local markets, he purchased a book with Giovanni Boldini’s pictorial reproductions, which impressed, amazed and inspired Vladimir.
When he saw the impressionists’ originals in the Musée d'Orsay, he started to spend more time on painting and never stopped working. At the beginning of 2000, Vladimir created a web page with his commercial and artistic works. It was through that page, that his art manager found him, and in 2004, Vladimir signed a long-term contract with Soho Editions, NY, USA. Vladimir discovered the names of John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla, adopted the style of romantic realism and started to paint in that manner.
After seven years of marriage, in 2006, Vladimir and his wife, Ekaterina, moved to Spain. And in that same year, their son Anton was born. In 2007, he started his successful cooperation with Galeries Bartoux in France as well as with art galleries in the USA, Italy and Sweden.
In 2011, while Vladimir was working on a 3D project, an idea of creating 3D dolls dawned on him. He set up the volegovdolls.com web page and took part in the exhibitions in Paris (Doll Expo 2012), in Barcelona (Doll Show 2012), in New York (Art Expo New York 2012), in which both his paintings and dolls were a tremendous success. Vladimir worked on the inflow of private orders for portraits while simultaneously pursuing his artistic endeavours, the main theme of which was depicting women and children. Besides, Vladimir created videos dedicated to the process of painting creation, and has composed music to them.
Since 2015, Vladimir has started to conduct video tutorials in figurative oil painting and, after his followers’ persistent requests, he has created a tutorial DVD.

Vladimir Kush Russian Surrealist Painter
Vladimir Kush was born in Russia, in a one-story wooden house near the Moscow forest-park Sokolniki.
At the age of seven Vladimir began to attend art school until late evening where he became acquainted with the works of great artists of the Renaissance, famous Impressionists, and Modern Artists.
Vladimir entered the Moscow Higher Art and Craft School at age 17, but a year later he was conscripted. After six months of military training the unit commander thought it more appropriate to employ him exclusively for peaceful purposes, namely, painting propagandistic posters.
After military service and graduating the Institute of Fine Arts, Vladimir painted portraits on Arbat Street to support his family during the hard times in Russia.
In the year 1987, Vladimir began to take part in exhibitions organized by the Union of Artists. At a show in Coburg, Germany in 1990, nearly all his displayed paintings sold and after closing the exhibition, he flew to Los Angeles where 20 of his works were exhibited and began his “American Odyssey.”
In Los Angeles, Kush worked in a small, rented home garage, but was unable to find a place to display his paintings. He earned money by drawing portraits on the Santa Monica pier and eventually was able to purchase a ticket to his “Promised Land,” Hawaii.In 1993, a dealer from France noticed the originality of Kush’s work and organized an exhibition in Hong Kong. Success surpassed all expectations. In 1995, a new exhibition in Hong Kong at the Mandarin Fine Art Gallery brought more success. In 1997 he had a new start in the USA exhibiting in the galleries in Lahaina, Hawaii and in Seattle. In 2001 Kush opened his first gallery, Kush Fine Art in Lahaina, Hawaii. He now has 4 gallery locations in the USA with future plans to open more galleries around the world.

Description: Vladimir Kush (born 1965) is a Russian born surrealist painter and sculptor. He studied at the Surikov Moscow Art Institute, and after several years working as an artist in Moscow, his native city, he emigrated to the United States, eventually establishing his own gallery on the island of Maui in Hawaii. His oil paintings are also sold as giclée prints which contributed to his popularity and led to the establishment of further galleries in Laguna Beach, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2011 Kush won the First Prize in Painting at the Artistes du Monde international exhibition in Cannes.
Kush was born in 1965 in Moscow, Russia. After study at the Surikov Moscow Art Institute, he was conscripted into the Soviet Army for two years where he was assigned to paint murals. In 1987 he began exhibiting with the USSR Union of Artists but earned a living drawing portraits on the streets of Moscow and caricatures for a newspaper. In 1990, following his first foreign exhibition in Germany with two other Russian artists, he emigrated to the United States, initially living in Los Angeles before moving to Hawaii where he also worked as a mural painter for the Whaler's Village Museum on Maui. While based in Hawaii, his works received several exhibitions in Hong Kong galleries. Gallery shows followed in Seattle, Pittsburgh, and other American cities, and he eventually opened his own gallery, Kush Fine Art in Lahaina, Hawaii.
He later opened Kush Fine Art galleries in Las Vegas and Laguna Beach, California. Many of his original oil paintings are also sold as giclée prints which initially contributed to his popularity. In 2007 Kush sued the pop singer Pink and her record company for copyright infringement when imagery from his painting (and later giclée print), Contes Erotiques, was used without his authorisation for her 2006 video U + Ur Hand. The case was settled the following year when the singer agreed to pay him undisclosed damages.Prints and an original oil painting by Kush are held in the NaPua Gallery collection at the Grand Wailea Resort on Maui in addition to works held in private collections. In July 2011 his works were shown at the Artistes du Monde international exhibition in Cannes where he won the American First Prize in Painting. He also has a resident show in Las Vegas, Nevada at Caesar's Palace
Kush predominantly works in the medium of oil painting on canvas or board, with many of the original paintings also sold as limited edition giclée-on-canvas prints. His bronze-colored sculptures are small-scale and usually based on imagery from his paintings, such as Walnut of Eden and Pros and Cons. Although his style is frequently described as surrealist, Kush himself refers to it as metaphorical realism and cites the early influence on his style of Salvador Dalí's surrealist paintings as well as landscapes by the German romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich. Another influence on his work has been the 16th century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, known for his fantastic imagery and sometimes characterised as the pre-Surrealism Surrealist.Wings, ships, and color-saturated seascapes are frequent themes in his paintings, exemplified in the companion pieces, Arrival of the Flower Ship and Departure of the Winged Ship. Flowing water is another recurrent theme, exemplified by Breach and Current. Other works such as Three Graces and African Sonata merge human and animal forms with inanimate objects.

Владимир Татлин ретроспективный
Excerpt from the press release:
Press release:
This year the Museum Tinguely in Basel is dedicating its large summer exhibition to one of the most important figures of the Russian avant-garde: Vladimir Tatlin (1885--1953). It is now almost twenty years since the last comprehen-sive retrospective to be devoted to this radically innovative artist. The presented works will include early paintings, counter-reliefs that reach out into the surrounding space, reconstructions of his revolutionary tower, and the flying machine Letatlin. The exhibition is rounded off with examples of his work for the theatre. The œuvre of this outstanding artist from the watershed period at the beginning of the twentieth century will be represented in over one hundred masterpieces, mostly on loan from major collections in Moscow and St Petersburg.
Vladimir Tatlin began his career as a seaman. Until 1913 his artistic activities were limited exclusively to painting and drawing. Interested in the traditional fields of icon-painting and folk art, he later transferred his attention to the most modern avant-garde trends in Russia and Western Europe, more precisely Paris. His entire later work is founded on painting. The exhibition will show a comprehensive selection of his early paintings with their bold expanses of colour, rhythmic curves, and striking use of dark and light outlines. In these eye-catching works Tatlin achieved a highly original synthesis of the Russian tradition and the French avant-garde.

Geometry of Life. Vladimir Andreenkov. Shazina Gallery.
Vladimir Andreenkov, adhering to visible mathematics and clear-cut forms in their perfection, is not locking the space of life but is wonderfully transforming it beyond blurred human consciousness. He succeeds to make an exact from an approximate and he makes you, if not to think, at least to get mobilized internally. As a rule, a person focuses simply looking at a direct line. Line - step. Step - action. Action - legacy.
Vladimir Andreenkov was born in 1930. He studied at the Academy of Art and the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov. He has been a member of the Organization of Artists since 1962. Already in the 60s Andreenkov, along with other bright artists of diffirent art, by now acknowledged and known, such as Ilya Kabakov, Ivan Chuykov, and Vladimir Yankilevsky, was searching for his own unique artistic style.
The art of Andreenkov continues the tradition of Russian constructivism and are reminiscent of the great neo-constructivist works by foreign artists Josef Albers, Max Bill, and Richard Paul Lohse.
Vladimir Kush
Vladimir Kush is a Russian-born surrealist painter and sculptor, although he prefers to refer to his art as metaphorical realism.
He was born in 1965 in Moscow and first began drawing and showing artistic ability at the age of three or four. He would often sit on his father's lap and finish drawings his father started. He started attending an art school at the age of seven in Russia. The first half of his day was spent in regular school, meeting requirements, and the second half of the day was spent in art classes until 9pm. He entered the Moscow Art Institute at age 17, and when he went for his mandatory two years of military service at 18 was soon set to painting murals and canvases rather than regular infantry duties.
The artists who he says have influenced his style since his first experience in art school are Monet, Botticelli, Bosch, van Gogh, Dürer, Schinkel, Vermeer, and Dali to name a few. Bored with the Cézanne-style painting his art school concentrated on, Kush switched to surreal images as a teenager and painted his first surreal picture at the age of 14. He experimented with different styles of impressionism after seeing a book of Salvador Dalí's work in the late 1980s but it didn't appeal because shape was lost in the style. Strongly influenced by his father (a scientist), he believes that realistic paintings show the artist's professional skill and draw the viewer in so that they accept the impossible images enough to see the metaphors in them and explore the different layers of meaning.
In 1987, he began to sell his paintings and exhibiting them within the Union of Artists. Around the same time he was invited to paint a series of portraits for the U.S. Embassy staff however he eventually had to curtail his work on the portraits after the KGB became suspicious of his involvement with Americans because of books he had read during his time with the military.
In 1990 he showed works in Germany together with two other Russian artists; he visited Los Angeles for a show and stayed in the United States.
In 1991 he allowed his dream to become reality. For a while he was able to rent a small home garage in Los Angeles in which to paint, but couldn't find anywhere to display them. He earned his money by drawing people on the pier in Santa Monica. Eventually he spent his savings on a ticket to Hawaii and slept on the beach in Santa Monica until the flight left days later.
His art was first noticed by the Asian continent and then spread into America. In 2001 he opened his first gallery, Kush Fine Art in Lahaina, Hawaii. He also now has another Kush Fine Art Gallery in Laguna Beach, California.
Rare Russian icons on display in Moscow
The Pushkin Museum has put together a rare collection of 130 religious icons dating from the 14th to 16th centuries, known as a golden age of religious art in Russia. It's only the third time an exhibition of this type has been brought together.
Vladimir Shukhov - exhibition in MAMM, Moscow
The engineer, scientist, inventor and honorary member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Vladimir Grigorievich Shukhov (1853-1939) is renowned for outstanding achievements in various areas of science and technology. For over half a century his diverse scientific, technological and engineering work from the late 1870s to the 1930s was hugely influential in the development of mechanics, power engineering, architecture, construction and transport in Russia. This exceptional scientist contributed to the formation and evolution in the 19th-to 20th-century Russia of a number of new fields: the oil industry, boiler making, pump building and the production of reservoirs, river tankers, steam-driven facilities, gas holders, etc.
Vladimir Shukhov made an important contribution to the construction of public and industrial buildings, as well as bridges, bridge cranes, caissons, nautical and airship hangars, hyperboloid lattice towers (pressure and observation towers), electricity transmission line masts, lighthouse beacons, warship masts, defensive port structures and other facilities. Shukhov created the famous hyperboloid lattice structure (patented in 1899), realised in the construction of gigantic supports for power transmission lines across the River Oka, lighthouses and water pressure towers. Shukhov designed and supervised the building of a multi-tiered gridshell tower for the Comintern Radio Station (height 150 m) in Shabolovka, Moscow, for the all-union radio transmission system (1919-1922). The unique Shukhov Tower is still functioning and serves as the symbol of television and radio transmission across Russia.
The geography of Vladimir Shukhov's activities is amazing and its scale is truly all-Russian. He undertook the equipment of the economy throughout Russia, from the capital cities to outlying regions, in the Urals, Siberia, the Transcaucasus, Ukraine, Turkmenia, etc.
In all spheres of his work Vladimir Shukhov not only produced his engineering solutions on a scientific basis, but also compared theoretical calculations with experimental data. As a result, he often succeeded in perfecting engineering designs, and the realisation of set technical tasks was carried out according to new, rational methods.
Given the critical necessity for economy in the use of metal in Russia, Vladimir Shukhov strove to build cheaply as well as durably, setting the goal of devising constructions based on a series of fundamental criteria for cost efficiency for the first time in practice.
Striking examples are provided by the celebrated radio tower in Shabolovka and several machine shops at the Vyksunsky Metallurgical Plant that were designed and built by Vladimir Shukhov more than a hundred years ago.
He was the first in the world to make use of a supporting steel gridshell for the construction of buildings and towers. Contemporaries regarded the technical achievements of Shukhov's systems as an original innovation, although the architectural possibilities of the new structures were unknown to them. While Russian architecture was forming an aesthetic attitude to the new forms of engineering or refusing to accept them, engineering creativity developed in line with a judicious understanding of the form and consequently of its utilisation.
Vladimir Shukhov introduced the single-sheet hyperbolic paraboloid of revolution to architecture when he created the first ever hyperboloid constructions (1896). The Shukhov hyperboloid towers that have been preserved are stunning not only for the originality of the engineering concept, but also for the grace of their consummate architectural form. Today gridshells facilitate the creation of buildings with very complex forms and are therefore used by such world-famous architects as Frank Gehry (USA), Paul Andreu (France), Santiago Calatrava (Spain), Renzo Piano (Italy), Nicholas Grimshaw (UK), Massimiliano Fuksas (Italy) and others. The translucent roof of the British Museum's inner courtyard and the cupola of the 30 St. Mary Axe Tower («the Gherkin») in London, the gridshell covering of the atrium in the DZ Bank building in Berlin, the hyperboloid air traffic control tower at Barcelona Airport, the gridshell of the theatre in Valencia, the gridshell roof of the Maritime Museum in Osaka, the double gridshell of the Beijing Opera Theatre and the hyperboloid gridshell television tower at Guangzhou were all built on the basis of Vladimir Shukhov's discoveries.
Harmonically combining the talent of a leading scientist with the intuition of a brilliant engineer, Vladimir Shukhov worked in the most diverse areas of science and technology. Everything he created was at the level of discovery and invention; everything was a breakthrough for its time. Many examples of contemporary architecture and construction that are striking for their innovation and scale originate from Shukhov's discoveries in the late 19th century. -

В кузнице можно увидеть настоящий огонь, почувствовать жар раскалённого металла, подержать в руках настоящий кузнечный инструмент и узнать, чем современная кузница отличается от старинной.
Мастерская Бородиных является не только действующей кузницей, но и галереей произведений декоративно-прикладного искусства. Доказательством этому служит участие художников-кузнецов Бородиных во Всероссийских и Международных художественных выставках.
В кузнице представлены десятки кованых произведений искусства. Все работы выполнены в традициях русской народной ковки! В декоративных панно можно увидеть тишину и спокойствие сада за окном, момент цветения чертополоха, неожиданную встречу кота с петухом. Также представлены работы не только декоративного, но и бытового значения. Подсвечники выполнены в технике ювелирной ковки, развиваемой кузнецами Бородиными. Каждое изделие лёгкое, изящное и уникальное, так как в него вложена частичка души и теплота рук мастера. Все произведения искусства представлены в открытом доступе для гостей.
Vladimir Tretchikoff - The People's Painter - Trailer
The opening scenes of a documentary on the life of Vladimir Tretchikoff entitled The People's Painter. Produced by Yvonne DuToit, Cape Town, South Africa.
The artist born in Russia, became a naturalized South African citizen in 1957 and played a very important part in the history of South African Art. The footage uncovers a part of Tretchikoff's life that no one else has ever filmed. In fact the five years during the war are usually glossed over saying he was imprisoned in Java. His first three months in Java were spent in prison in solitary confinement but he was released on parole and met and fell in love with a Eurasian woman, who became his model, muse and mistress. The next five years spent in Djakarta were extremely important ones regarding his work. It is here that he created some of his finest work.
