Vladlen Gavrilchik - one of the brightest representatives of the first generation of the Leningrad underground . Artist and poet, Gavrilchik and his art , and a way of life embodied the most creative , that is, non-ideological and uncommercialised beginning of that particular culture, which was formed in Leningrad in the 1970s in opposition to the semi-official culture .
Gavrilchik began his artistic career as an "artist of the seventh day." Professional military sailor, he took up art that became his life's work , already a well-established human. However, the primitive method , which lasted more than a decade marked by internal development : the natural and spontaneous naivizm worldview Gavrilchik at end of the 70s comes to understanding the primitivist techniques as specific means of expression . This is not the traditional " unlearned " painting: Naive intonation quite otrefeksirovanna , rather, it is the line of absurdist attitude that leads its origins from the poetics of the 20- 30's and is painted socio-cultural impulses " of the Soviet way of life" 70 .

Briefly tell us about Vladlena Gavrilchik not work. Vladlen Gavrilchik truly epochal personality, which you can admire . Today respectable beard and piercing blue eyes of the artist almost imposing image of the " patriarch of the Leningrad underground ." But this is unlikely to take hold subsistence in mythologized biography Gavrilchik reminiscent of the adventure novel of adventure on land and at sea.
It is known that Vladlen Gavrilchik was born in 1929 in a hot Uzbek city of Termez , where in the first class manifested a desire to paint. In art school , where the young artist went secretly from her stepmother , had no chance to learn . Gavrilchik graduated from the Tashkent Suvorov Military School in 1947 and from the Leningrad Higher Naval School in 1951 border . Gavrilchik became interested in painting as an adult , around the late 50's, before that he served as a navigator border transport ship in the Far East, he worked as an engineer at the military- industrial enterprise . In 1967, the artist traveled to Syria during the Arab- Israeli War , from 1970 to 1973 was the skipper of a barge . The barge was replaced on the train, and for a time worked as a conductor . Ends with a track record of enigmatic position "operator to mix with the station ," here Gavrilchik delayed for as long as 13 years.
Picturesque Studi Gavrilchik began in Leningrad, after leaving in the middle of the 1950s . Aspiring artist studio visits to houses of culture , many masters themselves in museums and libraries and a chat with the artists . Greatly influenced Gavrilchik familiarity with the artist Michael Tsibasovym - one of the brightest students of Pavel Filonov .
Gavrilchik work associated with the naive and primitivism , and came to the primitive Gavrilchik consciously sufficiently mastered the skill of the painter. In his works, be it low-key landscape , still life with a broken plate or one of the many self-portraits secretly conducted a dialogue with the Soviet culture . Easy Gavrilchik illusory. Romanticizing portrait poetiziruya poor form or converting Soviet mythology in a splint , Gavrilchik ironically plays with the human desire for peace elegant . To some extent, the personality of Gavrilchik is the apotheosis of this attempt: he was not only in painting and drawing , but also in the photo , in the creation of objects , and in the appendage to everything: in poetry. In verses Gavrilchik distinctly heard folk motifs , such as cruel romance - a genre where a naive form is combined with a heartbreaking story. Both paintings and poetry Gavrilchik revels in creativity as such, and this creates a unique effect of light irony.
