Biography

In 1979, he took part in the unofficial exhibition "Contemporary Art from Ukraine" (Munich — London — Paris — New York).[3] In the same year, Vladimir Strelnikov emigrated to Germany under pressure from the Soviet special services, which persecuted him for organizing "apartment" exhibitions.[4]
Strelnikov lives and works in Munich.[5] Since 1990, he has been coming to Odesa.[6]
The art of Vladimir Strelnikov is reflected in the landscape and environment of the Black Sea. His work reflects formal ties with ancient Slavic icons, as well as "stone women" found in the steppes of the Black Sea.[7]
