Catalogue Note
Tatyana Nazarenko was associated with the left wing of the Artists' Union, composed of Soviet official artists of the 1970s generation who created much more experimental and modernist work than that of most of their other, senior colleagues at the Artists' Union. Nazarenko often employed fantastic elements and allegory in her work, while also including narrative elements and historical references.
Between 1955 and 1962 Nazarenko attended the Moscow Secondary Art School. She graduated from the Surikov Art Institute in 1968, joining the Artists' Union in 1969. From 1969 to 1972 Nazarenko worked in the studio of the Academy of Fine Arts of the USSR under the prominent artist Gelii Korzhev. In 1982, she submitted several of her works for an exhibition in Hamburg, but the Soviet authorities did not allow her to attend the opening of the show. She was not permitted to go abroad until 1986, during the time of perestroika. Nazarenko's works were included in the Sotheby's Moscow auction of 1988. Navarenko works as a Professor of Painting at the Surikov Art Institute, and in 2001 became a full member of the presidium of the Russian Academy of Arts.
