Russian artists Vladimir Fomin and Joulia Vitaliy have
exhibits at Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens
in Winter Park. Fomin's U.S. debut show includes 'Autumn'
done in his bright folk art style. Story, Page J14
The Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens is featuring the works of two Russian artists.
"Amazing Lubok" showcases works by painter Vladimir Fomin. The artist's American debut features
22 oil paintings through Feb. 26.
Fomin's works are painted in a style called avant-garde lubok. The term lubok is defined as traditional
Russian folk art, a style characterized by bright colors and simple compositions. Fomin's works combine lubok
with other styles.
Also on display through Feb. 26 is "Infinite Illusions," works by Joulia Vitaliy, who lives in Winter Park.
The exhibit features carved frescoes, stucco pieces, a postexpressionist painting, a classically inspired vase
and two imaginative dresses.
The museum, at 633 Osceola Ave. in Winter Park, is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday
and from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday. In conjunction with United Arts of Central Florida's Arts-Fest, admission will be free today.
Artists will be working in the museum's gardens, free children's activities will be continual,
and children's stories will be told intermittently.
Regular museum admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, $3 for students and free for members and
children younger than 12.
