ALEXEY RUDYAKOV
Born in 1923, Alexey Rudyakov, like many of his generation, spent his youth
in the battles of the Second World War. He received numerous medals for
service to his country.
Rudyakov studied at the Art School of an All Union State Institute of
Cinematography. He graduated in 1952 and was recommended for work at the
cinema-studio "Lenfilm," the second largest movie company in the former
Soviet Union. He was lucky - it was a wonderful start into a life of
creation, full of anxiety, doubts, joy, and grief.
During 43 years in art, Rudyakov has done numerous art works in oil, pastel,
water color, and other media, he also illustrated several books.
He linked his destiny and life with the cinema-studio "Lenfilm" and with the
city on the Neva River - St. Petersburg. Rudyakov has worked on more than
40 films. As a genuine artist of cinematography, he harmonically combines
the film director's approach and the art of a painter, penetrating into
historical style and everyday life of different epoches, countries, and
nations. His movie sketches, by their compositional, figurative expression,
and pictorial solution have the value of art in themselves.
Today, his works have been exhibited in the prestigious halls of St. Petersburg,
Moscow, Tallinn, and other cities of Russia and the former Soviet Union. Two
exhibitions of his works in 1993 - in the Main Hall of the Russian Association
for Artists and in the Main Hall of the Russian Association for Cinematography
- displayed the great, deserved, and talented path of a cinema art director,
painter, and graphic artist.
His paintings have been purchased by the Russian State Museum in St. Petersburg,
the Department of Modern Art of Tretyakov's Gallery in Moscow, the Ministry
of Culture of Russia, the Soviet Society of Peace, the St. Petersburg Society
of Friendship, the Italian Consulate General in St. Petersburg, among many
others. His works have been shown in the Georges Pompidou Center in France,
as well as in Great Britain and the USA. Private collectors and corporations
own his art.
His works were first shown in the United States at the South Shore Art Center
(Cohasset, Massachusetts) in July-August of 1990. In 1992 he had an exhibition
at the "Gallery on the Green" in Lexington, MA. In 1995 he had an exhibition
at the "Agora Gallery" in SoHo, New York.
