Fragments of 'V. Golub: Merging Two Epochs' by Nadia Antonchik, art-critic
(source: www.culture.lt)
Paintings from the 'City Romance' collection.
"Vladimir
GOLUB was born in 1953 in a small town of Slutsk, Byelorussia. Still a teenager
he knew for sure that he would be a painter. When he was 12 he left his
parents` home to enter an All-Byelorussian Music and Fine Arts School. Later
Vladimir entered the Easel-Painting Department of Byelorussian Academy of Arts.
He graduated from it in 1977 acquiring in this way the best professional
artistic education available in his country."
"Now the
painter and his family live in Vilnius. There he co-operates with local art
galleries. He often leaves Vilnius for Poland to take part in plain-airs or for
Grodno, an ancient town in Byelorussia, to work in the tranquil atmosphere of
his first studio where 20 years ago he conceived a series of ancestor myths."
"A roguishly
graceful model of Golub with her lustrous eyes implying a mystery known only to
herself, sloping shoulders, long white neck and half-naked breast immediately
attracts spectators` attention."
