NEKRASOV , Andriy
Andriy Nekrasov was born on 14 June 1962 into the family of a military man. He spent his childhood in the Kyiv region in Ukraine surrounded by the amazing views of the blue Dnieper River and golden meadows which made an unforgettable impression on the young man. Inspired to paint, Andriy studied in the workshops of Ukrainian artists Nartsis Kocherezhko (11 April 1931-14 June 2015) and Vasyl Korchynskyi (1 January 1955-) and quickly found his painting style, where the main focus is a sense of colour and a playful combination in the works. Working in oil and using a palette knife in large strokes, he paints still lifes, sea horizons and city and natural landscapes. Andriy is an honored Artist of Ukraine and member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine and he and his family moved to the UK from Ukraine in September 2023. Personal exhibitions have been widely held at the Ukrainian Culture Fund, the Cultural Center of the Ukrainian Society for the Preservation of Historical and Cultural Monuments of Ukraine, the National Reserve 'Sofia Kyivska', the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Lviv Writers' Union of Ukraine, the Kyiv Central Officers' Building, the Government House and the Supreme Council of Ukraine. Many of the artist’s works are also held in private collections, both in Ukraine and abroad. Andriy Nekrasov works in London painting the historic architecture and landscapes of the city and has started a residency at Fullers Mill Garden, West Stow, Bury Saint Edmunds. He has exhibited from Stradbroke in Suffolk locally at Dennington Arts; Wingfield Barns; 21 Gallery & Studio, 21 St Nicholas Street, Diss, Norfolk and elsewhere.
