Alexander Volkov is a Russian-American oil painter who was born in St. Petersburg in 1960 and has lived and worked in Hunterdon County for 25 years.

He started painting with oil as a high school student.  From the age of 7 to 17 he attended a special English school and in 1986 graduated from the Department of Physics at Leningrad State University.  Following graduation, Alexander worked as an animator at Leningrad Studio of Science Films and later as a stage artist in a small Leningrad theatre.

In 1981 he began to exhibit his paintings with a group of 200 Leningrad artists known as the "Brotherhood of Experimental Arts", a conglomeration of Find"underground" art groups active in Leningrad at the time.  Later, he joined a splinter group called "Ostrov" or "Island" which united 30 artists who felt that, ideologically, their work was neither socialist realism nor extreme avant garde.

Reluctantly, he calls himself a "self-taught" artist.    ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2819 characters.]  Artist bio
