Jubilee Exhibition of Works by Alexander Tyutrin at the Academy Museum in St. Petersburg
The jubilee exhibition at the Research Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts presents over 60 works by noted St. Petersburg painter Alexander Tyutrin including his canvases, portraits, landscapes, still lifes and genre compositions.
Alexander Tyutrin was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). He graduated from I. Repin St. Petersburg State Academy Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture where he majored in painting under Prof. Yury Neprintsev. After his post graduate study Tyutrin taught at the I. Repin Institute. Since 1978 he has been a Member of the Union of Artists.
He belongs to the generation of St. Petersburg artists who made themselves known in the 1970-80s. Basing on classical traditions of Russian art school, they tried to broaden possibilities of the pictorial language and expand the limits of perception.
Working in various genres Alexander Tyutrin starts from the impressions of the surrounding world. In his searches he bases on traditions of Russian realism with its psychological analyses and French impressionism as expressive means to depict the instantaneity of a weather condition, human mood, gesture or movement. The artist’s way is a way of knowledge, when through his creative experience he verifies the true value of traditions and personal impressions.
