[fabosch]

March 1 at the Russian Museum (Marble Palace) opened the exhibition Solomon Rossini.
One of the most legendary and enigmatic artists of the Leningrad underground. Virtually exhibited in Russia in recent years, though, and regularly comes over to Peter from France. Known very quarrelsome and difficult character, not prone to publicity, very few sell their work. The figure is absolutely alone. Not adjacent to any groups and companies. However, at one time had a marked influence on many young artists (for example, a group of "Friends").
The exhibition shed until April 1.
Here is the text from the site of the museum:

Solo exhibition of the artist Solomon Rossini, living and working in France and St. Petersburg, introduces beautiful works of different periods, the earliest of which dates back to 1965. The exhibition, called the author of "The Father's House," includes five thematic sections, chapters, "Drawing Lesson," "Spark," "Pure Heart," "Mercy" and "Requiem." Solomon, Rossin - stage name, which the artist Albert Solomonovich Rozin took in the mid-1960s, working as a schoolteacher in a village in the Arkhangelsk region. At that time, decided the main themes to which he would constantly refer to his work as a whole speaks to the aesthetics of non-conformism. Rossin Solomon seeks to comprehend the drama of the twentieth century Russian history as a reflection of the dark and dramatic side of the universe, its depth unfathomable essence. Humbled and suffering "little man" whose image is often found in the works of masters, can become a hero, grand and tragic. The feeling of anxiety lies in the very emotional painting style, in contrasting color combinations, strains and displacements in the forms. Not coincidentally, many of the items can be seen as the spiritual master of self-portraits, reflecting on the fate of the lonely and unprotected people in the big world.
