I have a lot of this artists etchings which fall into two groups - either rather gothic portraits or fairly realistic (I assume) depictions of everyday life in Russia. The somewhat dilapidated humans and infrastructure are shown with a degree of wry humour which rather appealed to me. I have photocopies of a lot of other work that I intended to buy before the 'Moscow Etching Gallery' went 'off-air' and it compares favourably with other contemporary artists output. If I ever get in contact again I will send him some decent paper - these are printed on something more akin to the material used for blank postcards!
Old Ladoga is an area outside St Petersburg where many Russian artists go in the summer for inspiration.
