"I LIKE THAT HE IS, FROM SIBERIA TO PARIS, NEVER STOPPED BEING HIMSELF: HIS ART IS VIVID, JOYFUL (EVEN HIS DESERTED CHURCHES DON'T MAKE ME SAD) AND, AS I THINK, BEAUTIFUL"
Viktor Nekrasov about Eduard Zelenin
Eduard Zelenin was an artist, one of the leaders of the Unofficial art movement. In 1974 he participated in the famous Bulldozer and Ismailovo exhibitions, and after unfortunate attempts to get governmental permission for exhibiting his works, he emigrated to France. In his works Eduard Zelenin created phantasmagoric imageries that stem from the aesthetics of Surrealism. The artworks of Zelenin are in the Museum Bochum (Germany), the Zimmerli Museum, the "Other Art" Museum and in private collections.
