Exhibition for the birthday of Vladimir Korbakov in the Russian Museum

Vologda artist Vladimir Korbakov, who celebrated his 90th birthday, can be proud of his creative heritage. The personal exhibition, which opened on August 23 at the Russian Museum, is a clear testament to the recognition of his talent by society.

Until September 24, the St. Petersburg audience got the opportunity to immerse themselves in the intricacies of the artist’s inner world, woven from French impressionism and Russian folklore. In his paintings, reality is so closely intertwined with fantasy that even the most paradoxical plots can hardly be called impossible. They are like casts of dreams, keeping traces of the collective unconscious and exploding the mind with archetypal images.

Bright colors, deep emotionality, sublime plots and grotesque humor are the hallmarks of his work. It should be noted that the exhibition presents mainly paintings of the last twenty years, as well as those that were created by the master in the 50-80 years of the twentieth century. City landscapes, still lifes, portraits and thematic paintings by Korbakov are impressive, pleasing, shocking and will not leave anyone indifferent!
