Portraits
Paintings bought directly from the artists by London dealer, John Barkes.
The artists are professional painters and members of a Union of Artists. Many are represented in Russian museums and, since the Gorbachev reforms of the 1980s, their paintings are increasingly seen in galleries in the U.K., Europe, America and, most recently, China.
Among them are many artists who trained and taught at St Petersburg's prestigious Repin Academy, a school which produces graduates renowned for the depth of their draftsmanship and brilliant attention to detail and colour. Russian art has well and truly jumped the Iron Curtain and provides a vigorous secondary market for collectors.
