SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 17, 2006 -- Vladimir Vitkovsky has always been a man
of the people. From his humble Russian beginnings, he has never wavered
from, nor lost touch with his roots, his family and his country. All of
which have inspired and impacted his work for the past quarter of a
century.
Born in 1950 in Leningrad, Vitkovsky has a visual style and artistic
sensibility all his own. His personal, yet assessable paintings, drawings
and sketches deeply rooted in tradition and technique, display a view of
the world that is at once universal and completely all his own -- a world
of enchantment, but one that is meant to be shared!
That is why, finally, Vitkovsky has made a conscious choice to make his
work more accessible, by bringing his work directly to the masses, while
ironically maintaining an almost elitist status among chosen galleries
throughout the U.S.
Vitkovsky studied at the highly respected St. Petersburg Pedagogical School
of Art and Graphics, the Mukhina School of Art & Design and attended
painting classes at the Repin Academy of Painting, Sculpture & Graphics. In
1989 he emigrated from the Soviet Union, and his art began to receive
serious international recognition.
Working in an array of mediums, Vitkovsky's art is both multidimensional
and multifaceted. His graphic works are delicate, dream like, mysterious,
enigmatic and deeply imaginative. All of his work embodies Mr. Vitkovksy's
interpretation of reality, which is representative of the fairy tale world.
Inversely, his oils are bold and penetrating. The figures seem gentle and
serene, but upon further examination, one experiences a depth, an
intensity, and a humanity that is exceedingly rare in modern art.
Now his work can be easily accessed at a series of local showings at the
Harvest Festival in both San Francisco and San Jose, throughout the month
of November.
