Paintings by Victor Yamschikov Are on Show at the Academy Museum in St. Petersburg
The solo show of works by Victor Yamschikov at the Academy Museum in St. Petersburg features the artist’s landscapes of Middle Russia, St. Petersburg, Paris, Shanghai and Kirkenes.
Victor Yamshikov was born in Bryansk in 1960. He is a graduate of I. Repin St. Petersburg State Academy Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. In 1993 he received a grant of the Russian-Norwegian Art Center in Kirkenes.
The artist creates both fine, poetic and emphatically decorative landscapes and still lifes full of sincere emotions. In many of his paintings one can sense motifs of his favorite St. Petersburg: parts of its buildings, streets and squares seen from different angles and perspectives. Of special interest on the show are the artist’s Chinese landscapes where nature and people, old and modern architecture merge into a single image of harmonic being. All his compositions have been inspired by real impressions.
Victor Yamschikov is a member of the St. Petersburg Union of Artists. His works are in museum and private collections in Russia and other countries.
