About the Item

View works.Katya Gridneva OLGA RESTING VIEW WORKS SHARE Katya Gridneva was born in 1965 in the Ukraine. As a child she loved to draw and paint, however, this talent was set aside when she was selected to be a gymnast at one of Russia’s prestigious Sports Schools. Her career ended abruptly when she was injured in a fall from the bar. She returned to her significant artistic ability and this was soon recognised by her acceptance in 1993 to the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. Katya is best known for her figurative pastel works and several of her models are renowned ballerinas from the world famous Kirov company and Marrinsky Theatre. Katya won first prize for her portraits at the end of her first year of studies in 1994. Since completing her studies in St. Petersburg she has exhibited widely in Great Britain, exhibiting with the Royal Pastel Society at the Mall Gallery and at many other International Art Fairs both in the UK and in the USA. Her fine portraiture is widely admired both here and in her native Ukraine. Katya has won awards and plaudits in equal measure.

  • STUDY of a SEATED FEMAIL NUDE FROM BEHIND.Augustas Edwin John.OM RA British
    Located in Pollenca, Illes Baleares
    Born in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, John was the younger son and third of four children. His father was Edwin William John, a Welsh solicitor; his mother, Augusta Smith from a long line of Sussex master plumbers,[1] died young when he was six, but not before inculcating a love of drawing in both Augustus and his older sister Gwen.[2] At the age of seventeen he briefly attended the Tenby School of Art, then left Wales for London, studying at the Slade School of Art, University College London. He became the star pupil of drawing teacher Henry Tonks and even before his graduation he was considered the most talented draughtsman of his generation. His sister, Gwen was with him at the Slade and became an important artist in her own right.[4] In 1897, John hit submerged rocks diving into the sea at Tenby, suffering a serious head injury; the lengthy convalescence that followed seems to have stimulated his adventurous spirit and accelerated his artistic growth.[5] In 1898, he won the Slade Prize with Moses and the Brazen Serpent. John afterward studied independently in Paris where he seems to have been influenced by Puvis de Chavannes.His most significant portraits include those of novelist James Joyce, playwright George Bernard Shaw, cellist Guilhermina Suggia, and poets Dylan Thomas and William Butler Yeats. John’s sister, Gwen John...
