Stanislav Putenko, “The Procession”, 2014

Stanislav Plutenko is a prominent Moscow artist-realist. His signature method — a mixed technique employing oil, tempera, acrylic and watercolor — is skilfully supplemented with masterfully airbrushing and glazing with clear paints.

Stanislav Plutenko belongs to the fine tradition of late USSR/early Russia period in which The Leningrad School of Painting/Fine Arts predominated. This prestigious school inherited from the reformed Imperial Academy of Fine Arts of Czarist Russia. The Leningrad School was held as a major phenomenon of artistic life in the USSR. It left a mark on Mr. Plutenko. His art exudes the gravity of Leningrad artistry, a sense of mission to create works of public importance, the culture of professional excellence, the exquisite harmony of color and a generalized interest in painting and figurative images.
