Lena Hades Biography

Lena Hades is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on October 2, 1959 in Kemerovo, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.

Lena Alekseevna Hades (Russian: Лена Алексеевна Хейдиз ; born October 2, 1959) is a Russian artist, writer and art theorist of Jewish origin.

Lena Hades is known worldwide not only for her painting and graphic cycle “Also Sprach Zarathustra”, but also for two other paintings of hers, which Russian nationalists deem Russophobian. Therefore, in March 2008 the group of Russian nationalists (over 300 people) took legal action against the artist, since in their opinion these two paintings provoke “racial and nationalistic hostility and hatred”. The first work is called “Welcome to Russia” (1999). It was purchased by Igor Markin Museum of Contemporary Art, the name of the other painting is “The Chimera of the mysterious Russian soul” (1996). It was exhibited only once, at the Second Moscow Biennale of contemporary art in

2005. The nationalists were offended by the artist’s depiction of the Russian soul as a cartoonish creature with clichéd attributes of Russian everyday life — a bottle of vodka, a model of Sputnik — and by the crudely painted text in Welcome that indicts the Russian character as simultaneously overaggressive and alarmingly God-fearing.

A Russian artist, writer and art theoretician. Lena Hades was born in Siberia, while her father was on a business trip, on the day of the total solar eclipse on October 2, 1959. Her father worked as communication engineer, her mother was a physician. At the age of 35 the future artist’s father got ill with multiple sclerosis and died at the age of 51. Lena, his daughter, took care of the father herself till the day of his death, January 17, 1985. Memories about her father and his tragic life had a great impact on the artist. It is the father’s disease that triggered her interest in the concept of death, and also in the philosophical problems of existence – the main topics of her creative works. Lena Hades graduated from Moscow State Pedagogical University in 1982 (Faculty of Physics and Mathematics), and she also completed higher foreign language courses (Spanish, Italian, Polish, French, German, English), and worked as a translator for many years. Being 35, she decided to become an artist, and in 1995 she left for Germany. In Cologne she created her first works and sold her first painting, gaining the first fee. In 1995–1997 she created more than 30 paintings, devoted to “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” by Nietzsche. For her, these works are visual metaphors, not mere illustrations. The series of “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” paintings is unique, as there is no more powerful, picturesque, clear and accurate representation of aphoristic expressions in the world than this one. In 1997 the oil painting and graphic cycle “Also Sprach Zarathustra” was exhibited in the Institute of Philosophy of Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2004 the Russian Academy of Sciences published a bilingual edition of “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” by Nietzsche – in Russian and German. The cover and the jacket of the book are decorated with two paintings by Lena Hades. The book also contains twenty other works from this cycle. Her paintings are in collections of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the Igor Markin Museum of contemporary art, the Pushkin Museum, the State Tretyakov Gallery etc. The works of the above series were also exhibited at the First Moscow Biennale of contemporary art in 2005, in the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1997 and in the State Kashyrka Gallery in 1998. She is living and working in Moscow.
