Evgeny Oks’s works may be considered one of the treasures of Russian art of the first half of the 20th century. As a student of Dobuzhinsky and a true follower of Vlamink and Cezanne, Oks created a special style, but one that was sharply discordant with the official culture of the time. From the 1930s on, his name was heard more and more rarely, and the artist worked in secret for several decades. Oks was rediscovered only in the 1990s.

The invitation to journey

The exhibits consist of 25 paintings and about 10 sketches done in the classic oil painting technique.

The main theme of the exhibition is a Journey. “In recent years I’ve traveled to the Volga in the summer to paint. Uglich, Kostroma, Ples and Kineshma are a treasure house for any artist. The power of the river draws you like a magnet. If I have one favorite theme, it’s flowering meadows. I love to walk through a field full of flowers,” Anastasia Udova says.

Anastasia Udova is a member of the Creative Artists Union of Russia and of the Petrovskaya Academy of Sciences and Arts.

The exhibits have been provided by the Russian Gallery on Vozdvizhenka.
