Life

Peter Dik received his training as an artist at the Moscow Technical College for Design (formerly: Stroganov School). He graduated in 1973. Since 1975 he has participated in local, national and Union-wide exhibitions. Since 1977 Dik was a member of the Artists Union of the USSR. He had a number of solo exhibitions: in 1982 for the first time in the city of Vladimir (a second time in 1989), 1985 and 1989 in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), in 1991 in Walka and in Riga (Latvia) and in Tartu (Estonia) ; his work has also been shown abroad.

Peter Dik lived in Vladimir from the late 1960s. In 1991 - shortly before the dissolution of the Soviet Union - he was honored as Honored Artist of the RSFSR , and in 1999 as People's Artist of the Russian Federation .

Peter Dik died on August 14, 2002, on the eve of the opening of his exhibition in Worpswede. He is buried in Vladimir.

Dik began his artistic career after completing his studies with sculptural works made of metal. Later he increasingly turned to graphics, in particular monotypes and lithography . Dik's topics are more conventional. He paints portraits as well as genre scenes , still lifes and landscapes, which, however, approach pictorial abstraction in their form. For his pastel painting, he developed a special technique by applying charcoal and pastel to a rough image carrier such as sandpaper or emery paper with his finger, creating less of a graphic than a blurred, painterly impression. His delicately colored pictures, which are subject to late naturalism or impressionism, have an almost dreamy-dreamlike atmosphere.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Dik also exhibited his works in the German cities of Düsseldorf, Berlin, Munich, Sankt Augustin, Hamburg, Nuremberg, Pommersfelden and Erlangen. The Bavarian State Foundation for Art Collections acquired works by the artist in Munich. In Russia his paintings are in the Tretyakov Gallery , the Russian Museum , the Vladimir Suzdal Museum, the Museum of Novosibirsk, Omsk, Oryol, Tver, Tula, Tyumen, in the collection of the magazine «Наше наследие» (Eng . Ours Heritage ) as well as in private collections in Russia and abroad.
