Catalogue Note
An important member of the Leningrad nonconformist art movement, Yurii Dyshlenko participated in the first unofficial art exhibition in Leningrad at the Gaz Palace of Culture in December 1974. However, Dyshlenko regarded the Moscow-based Conceptualists, a group of artists that conducted an ongoing critique of representational painting, as his closest colleagues. Dyshlenko received his formal art training at the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography with the eminent stage designer and theater director Nikolai Akimov. Dyshlenko graduated from the Institute in 1962 and worked as an illustrator before turning to painting in the early 1970s. Beginning in 1989, he lived and worked in New York.
The language and methods of advertising, the technology of reproduction: all became material for creative transformation and irony in Dyshlenko's work. To create his paintings, the artist employed motifs derived from advertising and other forms of popular culture, often including reproductions of slogans, product labels, and cartoons.
