Biography .

Nickolai Bogomolov

Was born in 1956 in Vologda, Russia. I have been living in St.Petersburg since 1957.
 In 1979 I graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Technology and then worked there as a research scientist till 1989. Later I terminated the scientific career (though rather successful) and concentrated on painting exclusively. I have begun drawing back at school and, though I entered a technical university, it happened so that I have been painting more and more from year to year... At a certain moment I realized that it couldn't go along with scientific research. An artist grew inside me like a tree, gradually filling the entire inner space. The first show of my paintings and graphics took place in the Institute of Technology in 1981. Since then I participated in 45 exhibitions(8 solo) . In the period between 1986 and 1991 they were mostly the shows organized by TEII (the Partnership of Experimental Fine Arts) based in St.Petersburg (for those who are not familiar with TEII: it embodied the avantgard wing of Soviet art in those days).In 1987 I became a member of "Ostrov" ("Island") Group but in late 1989 I understood  that to preserve individuality was much more important than to manifest jointly. In 1990 I took part in a big project "All for One Earth" that included group
 art shows in St.Petersburg (Leningrad then) and San Francisco as well as painting a mural on a five-story building in Leningrad. 

Between 1990 and 1997 I exhibited my works mostly on the US Pacific Coast, both in galleries and art festivals. 
 In 1995-1998 in collaboration with Urisman Fine Arts I organized a series of shows of St.Petersburg artists on the US Pacific Coast. 
 Few years ago I was absorbed by a new occupation - computer graphics and since then I work both in fine  and computer art.
