Igor Alexandrowitsch Wuloch (also Igor Vulokh , Russian Игорь Александрович Вулох ; born January 3, 1938 in Kazan ; † November 28, 2012 ) was a Russian artist.

Life

Wuloch's father, Alexander Nikolajewitsch Wuloch was in the military. He died at the front in World War II when the son was six years old. He grew up with his mother, Lidija Ivanovna Malysheva-Wuloch. Wuloch's childhood was in the war and post-war period. The mother had to work in two places to support the family.

In 1953 Wuloch attended the art school in Kazan. After completing his art training in painting, Wuloch moved to Moscow and began studying at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography . He wanted to avoid compulsory military service. In 1961, Wuloch's first personal exhibition was shown in the halls of the Union of Moscow Artists. Wuloch then began to study theological works. In 1970 he began to work in the Spiritual Academy as an assistant on the chair of the Western Creeds.

Igor Wuloch divorced his first wife and married Natalia Pavlovna Kutuzova shortly before their daughter Alexandra was born in 1973. In 1984 he married for the third time: Natalja Tukolkina-Ochota. A year later their daughter was born.

The changes in the country's political life in the late 1980s and early 1990s sparked a wave of exhibitions by the Russian avant-garde and underground in Russia, which also included the work of Igor Wuloch. The international college of painters awarded him the scholarship of the Ministry of Culture of the state of Brandenburg in 1993. The painter lived for a few months in Germany , where he created large-format pictures that he would not have been able to do in Moscow because of the limited space available. At the beginning of 1994 Wuloch created a graphic series based on the poems of Tomas Tranströmer . The following year, an exhibition on Igor Wuloch's work was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Silkeborg , Denmark .

Wuloch lived as a freelance artist in Moscow .
