Ivan Lubennikov Biography

Ivan Lubennikov is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on May 14, 1951 in Minsk, Minsk, Soviet Union. Ivan Leonidovich Lubennikov is a Russian painter, born in 1951 in Minsk. He lives and works in Moscow.

Professor at the Monumental art department of the Surikov Art Institute in Moscow since 1994, he was chosen to realize with his students in 2005 the decoration of three Muscovite metro stations: Mayakovskaya in 2005 (awarded with the international prize Vladimir Mayakovsky in 2009 and the gold medal of the Russian Academy of Arts), Sretensky Bulvar in 2007 and Slavyansky Bulvar in 2008. Each station was designed in different materials: stained glass, mosaics, cast iron, etched steel. In 2009, he created a 40m² artwork made with 20 glass-stained panels for the Madeleine (Paris Metro). Named Chicken Ryaba, this monumental work tells the story of Russia through its symbols. This public commission was offered by the city of Moscow to the RATP Group in thanks for the donation of an ensemble by Hector Guimard to the Muscovite metro station Kiyevskaya.

Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, and named People’s Artist, he was honoured with the Order of Friendship in October 2011.

The economic problems of the New Russia put a stop to his architectural works. The early 1990s marked the beginning of a 15-year period entirely devoted to painting and characterized by the use of black background. Profoundly Russian, his painting switched between ironic detachment and hedonism, popular culture and artistic references. Lubennikov recognizes the influence of Paul Delvaux and has many times declared his admiration for Matisse, Caravaggio, Zurbarán and the art of icons in their way of constructing space. With a high sense of composition and an approach intentionally aestheticized, Lubennikov continually reinvents his main subjects: nudes, still lifes, Siberian landscapes.

Graduated in 1976, he mainly dedicated himself to the realization of large fresco murals until the beginning of the 1990s. In 1982 his mural painting for the public room of the Tryokhgorka manufacture was awarded with the prize of the Union of the Artists of Moscow. It was the first of his numerous monumental artworks, which included the decoration of the façade and interior of the new train station of Zvenigorod (first prize of the Foundation of the Artists of Moscow), memorial monument for the Russian section of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum with the architect Alexandr Skolan in 1985, and intervention with laminated iron on the old facades of the Taganka Theatre in Moscow in 1987. Most of his realizations were destroyed during the last years of the Soviet regime; an exception is one of his emblematic artworks, the design of the State Museum Vladimir Mayakovsky in 1991.

Lubennikov began to show his paintings in the first years of the 1980s but it was his first important solo exhibition in a Muscovite gallery in 1987 which brought him recognition. The majority of these exhibited paintings are now part of Russian regional museums’ collections. The end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s correspond to the peak of interest from foreign collectors in Russian art; during this period his paintings were acquired by great German collectors, such as Henri Nannen or Peter Ludwig who now owns around twenty of his works.

In October 2011, a monograph in two volumes was published for his retrospective exhibition at the Central House of Artists in Moscow to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. The first volume reproduces more than two hundred paintings and a dozen images of architectural works. The second volume is a collection of literary text by the painter. A second book of his texts has been published in 2013 by Free Artists Editions in St-Petersburg.
