About the artist:

"Anatoly Belkin is a Russian artist. Born in Moscow in 1953, he has lived his entire life – since early childhood – in St. Petersburg. He was an early participant in the very first legendary “non-conformist” exhibitions. His works were first acquired at the end of the 80’s by the State Russian Museum – of all places – which represented nothing short of a coup in those days for someone whose artwork was dismissed as “unofficial” by the government. Creates works of paintings, graphics, sculpture, and genius behind several major museum installations." Sourced from AnatolyBelkin.ru
