"MY WHOLE LIFE I PAINT THE ONLY ARTWORK — MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY."
Vyacheslav Kalinin was a painter, a member of the Lianozovo group which unified nonconformist artists in the 1950s-1960s. In the 1970s he participated in the City Committee of Graphics on Malaya Gruzinskaya Street. In his works, Kalinin creates a phantasmagoric, grotesque image of Moscow life. In 1991 he left for the United States and settled in Los Angeles, then in 1996 he returned to Russia. The anniversary exhibition of Vyacheslav Kalinin "My Zamoskvorechye" was held at the Tretyakov Gallery in 2008.
Vyacheslav Kalinin's paintings are presented at the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum and in the largest museums worldwide.
