Bogomolov Gleb (b. 1933, Leningrad). Born in the family of a sailor, artist-любителя. After school he studied at the Leningrad military-транспортной Academy. At the same time was engaged in a theatrical Studio at the house of culture. S. M. Kirov. For some time he studied at the LGITMiK im. N. K. Cherkasova; in 1966-1971, worked at the Leningrad technological Institute of refrigeration industry. Worked in geological parties in the shipyard. For a long time was an engineer. Parallel to painting. Included in TEII.

Made experiments in abstract-экспрессивной technique, pouring plywood nitro. In the early 1970-х has created many works depicting the statues in the Summer garden. Admitted that he really liked the work of O. Tsalkova. You can feel it in his "Minds" of the late 1970-х., in the series "Roman types". Its continuation under the title "Slaves and heroes of Ancient Rome" was exhibited in the first half of 1980-х. In their stately-тупом intercession saw a parody of the hall of fame. In a huge heads expressed power, mental coarseness, rudeness glossy, tough and victorious will. These same qualities are implicit and bold abstract paintings Bogomolov. The artist emphasizes that the long sought direction in which to work. In the end he followed the Muscovites, in particular, Vladimir Nemukhin, reinforcing the role of the surface: her forced toughness, thoroughness otdelki. As a result, the picture seen part of the wall or closed door. The artist reaches experience strong density overlay, overlaying, covering of surfaces, thin lines, as if scratched on a hard surface, a variety of hard textures, tubular, mesh, etc. Uses different stickers and sometimes turns into the picture of the real solid thing, for example, a panel of the door. The artist depicts the deterioration, and uses outmoded things as a metaphor, as a trace of time passing. Art historian Eduard Kuznetsov writes: "Gleb Bogomolov wants to capture a moment, but the flow of time, to demonstrate different moments. Uses garbage: torn, yellowed, burned edges paper, perforated fabric, but in the end gives the picture a grandiose and classy look. The effect is achieved by connecting the subtle, understated beauty decayed, worn, distressed, weathered with abundant use of gold foil, pure white, red, blue colors. Yes, and the "junk" carefully selected, elite. So, in the film "Texts" composition made up of scraps of paper, but allowed only old Church Slavonic text with red initials, exotic Jewish and all this seasoned with scraps of glossy foreign magazines. Respectability and gravitas to the image give a hint for the icon – on its kavanot, selection of colors, the combination of pure colors and gold, and the image of Christian symbols, the use of abstracted iconic silhouette coupled with exquisite names: "Agina", "Omophorion", Mandola".
