GENNADY
LAKIN
Gennady was born in 1942 in Vladivostok to a family of
a military officer. He began to draw and photograph at an
early age. Gennady moved to Leningrad in 1965 to enter the
Mukhina School of Art and Industry. While working as a welder
at the Admiralty Shipyard, he studied painting in the studio
of Pugachyov. In 1967, he met with Vladimir
Sterligov (1904-1973) and Tatyana Glebova (1900-1985)
who were disciples of Kazimir
Malevich (1879-1935) and Pavel
Filonov (1883-1941) respectively. Instead of entering
the Mukhina School, he decided to learn art from those living
representatives of Russian avant-garde.
In 1971, Gennady moved to Moscow where he worked in the
areas of photography, sculpture, applied art and movie production.
He created elements of interior decor for several public
buildings in Moscow, including the Sovremennik theater,
