Artist Biography

Alexander Ivanov was born in Leningrad (St Petersburg) in 1950. With an interest in art from a young age, Ivanov started his studies at Leningrad Art and Graphics school at the age of 16 where he received classical training. Troubled by the social and political repression of self-expression in Russia during his 4th year of art school, he dropped his studies to find inspiration on geographical expeditions.


On his travels, Ivanov found inspiration in traditional Russian art which can be seen throughout his work. He started exhibiting in small group shows and secured his first one-man show in 1977, which opened and closed on the same day due to being shut down by officials. It was then he started to exhibit in private apartments in Russia with underground artistic circles.


In the late 1980's several Moscow firms published illustrations and calendars of Ivanov's images and his work was discovered by the German government, who invited him to take part in a Russian/German symposium. He was soon after invited to exhibit in Holland and England. His work was then discovered by galleries in America and Japan.


Ivanov tragically died in a fire at his studio in St Petersburg in 1996.
