For the first time the
paintings by the well-known painter-emigrant Vladimir Titov, who lives now in
France are presented at his personal exhibition in Saint-Petersburg. The
exposition includes 45 works from the author's collection.
Vladimir Titov was born in 1950 in Moscow. He learned from the legendary
nonconformal painter Vasily Sitnikov. Later he joined this trend himself.
Vladimir Titov gets the topics from the social environment of the city outskirts,
slums, back streets, his heroes are the outcast inhabitants of the megalopolis.
But his art is not the continuation of the descriptive-genre painting, that was
traditional for the Russian art, it is not one of the soc-art trends. Highlighting
the realm of shadows in the every day life Titov finds its beauty and poetry, that are strange and unusual for
the Russian tradition.
