August 2 2003, Saturday, 11am-6pmAFTER EXHIBITING IN CHICAGO, FINLAND, GERMANY, RUSSIA & SWEDEN... ARTIST, PLUTENKO EXHIBITS AGAIN IN LONDON, ALONGSIDE OTHER RUSSIAN ARTISTS: GRIGOROVICH, KRASAVIN, PAVLOVA & ZHEMCHUZHNIKOVIt was in 1996 when Russian artist, Stanislav Plutenko exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA). Well, the good news is that works by the Moscow-born artist, who is in his early forties, are back again. On this occasion they are in the Hay Hill Gallery, located in Mayfair. One of the press releases, we received from the gallery describes his classical painting in the following way... a 'mixed technique with use of oil, tempera, acrylic and watercolours, is skilfully supplemented by masterly application of an "air brush" and the finest glazing by transparent paints. Stanislav Plutenko plays on colour contrasts, his painting is very vigorous, illustrative and imbued through by sarcasm on the reality. In spite of the fact that the characters of his pictures are fattened and absolutely earthly ones, they are always astir - running, fluttering and flying somewhere.
Having awkward bodies and unprepossessing faces
they feel themselves angels and we are sympathetic towards them with their naiveté. With
an identical acuteness he presents images of the people and visual psychological
surroundings. In each genre stage with elements of grotesque style we can find the small
history of life with symbolic underlying theme. His pictures stimulate in the spectators
the scale of feelings, down to the protest, but not the indifference ...' Alongside works
by Plutenko, visitors will be able to appreciate works by other artists, at this, the Hay
Hill Gallery's Contemporary Summer Show: Dmitry Grigorovich (and wife, Galina); Yury
Krasavin; Vera Pavlova and Alexey Zhemchuznikov (and wife, Tatiana). Admission free. Go
along and enjoy. Telephone 020 7629 1910 for more information, if required. Location: Hay
Hill Gallery, 11b Hay Hill, Mayfair, London, W1. Tube station: Green Park (Jubilee,
Piccadilly and Victoria lines).
