Ivan Leonidovich Lubennikov (Russian: Иван Леонидович Лубенников, 14 May 1951 – 3 October 2021)[1] was a Minsk, Belarus-born painter, who lived and worked in Moscow.
[citation needed] Lubennikov recognized the influence of Paul Delvaux and has many times declared his admiration for Matisse, Caravaggio, Zurbarán and the art of icons in their way of constructing space.
[4] With a high sense of composition and an approach intentionally aestheticized, Lubennikov continually reinvents his main subjects: nudes, still lifes, Siberian landscapes.
This public commission was offered by the city of Moscow to the RATP Group in thanks for the donation of an ensemble by Hector Guimard to the Muscovite metro station Kiyevskaya.
[6] In October 2011, a monograph in two volumes was published for his retrospective exhibition[7] at the Central House of Artists in Moscow to celebrate his sixtieth birthday.
