Biography

Vitaly Pushnitsky was born in 1967 in Leningrad, USSR. After leaving Leningrad Secondary Art School, he studied at the Graphics Department of St.Petersburg Academy of Arts (1988—1994).[2] Since 1994, he has been a member of Saint Petersburg Union of Artists.

He has had exhibitions at the Kala Art Institute in New York and San Francisco (2002), at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi (2005), at the Tamarind Institute, University of New Mexico (2007), as well as at Cité International des Arts in Paris in 2012.

Pushnitsky's personal exhibitions took place at the State Russian Museum (2002) and the State Hermitage Museum (2006)[3] in St.Petersburg, at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2012)[4] and others.

Collaborating with the major Russian and western art galleries, Pushnitsky is conducting his own original exhibition project "Belka&Strelka" co-authored with an art critic and curator Dmitry Pilikin. Commonly the works of Pushnitsky are presented on the international art scene.

In 2011 the British publisher of art Phaidon Press included Vitaly Pushnitsky in the list of "115 artists working internationally who have been nominated by highly respected critics and curators for their outstanding contributions to recent painting".[5]
