About

Semenov Art Gallery was founded in 2009. It is located in the heart of Moscow on Prechistenka Street, directly opposite the Russian Academy of Arts, situated behind the square featuring a monument to the great Russian painter Vasily Ivanovich Surikov. Its prestigious location inherently obliges Semenov Gallery to adhere to those movements in contemporary art that inherit and develop the finest traditions of visual arts. The gallery's founder, Alexander Semenov, in defining the gallery's development strategy, sought the work of the leading contemporary artists whose oeuvres are represented in the major museums of the world. Semenov Gallery will introduce you to compelling examples of work by Russian, Soviet, and contemporary artists, spanning various media: painting, graphics, sculpture, and applied arts. The gallery features a wide selection of urban landscapes, landscapes of the Russian provinces, still lifes, sculpture, and both figurative and abstract compositions. Semenov Art Gallery maintains a distinct focus, hosting exhibitions by renowned People's Artists and Academicians of the Russian Academy of Arts, thereby establishing standards of tone, palette, and composition for young contemporary artists who follow the traditions of the Russian school of realist painting. The gallery has identified the realist art of the Soviet period as the primary direction of its art-historical research and activities. Soviet painters and sculptors imbued global art with significant artistic and social meaning. Paintings and sculptures from the Soviet era constitute essential holdings in Russian and international museums. At the gallery, one can receive professional consultation and appraisals for works of art, as well as purchase or sell paintings, sculptures, and rare antique books. SEMENOV Art Gallery is dedicated to providing the most sincere and professional stewardship for the works of art in your collection!
