SUMMARY:Vladimir Kush: Art of Imagination
DESCRIPTION:  Heritage international art-gallery presents first time i
	n Russia: the Personal exhibition of the artist and sculptor Vladimir 
	Kush.  Through the juxtaposition of previously unrelated objects and t
	he exploration of different viewpoints\, the artist's work makes refer
	ence to deeper meanings and metaphors\, while still maintaining its re
	alistic approach to representation\, a style he refers to as Metaphori
	cal Realism.  Vladimir Kush was born and grew up in Moscow\, Russia. H
	e entered the Moscow Art Institute at age 17. In 1987\, he began to se
	ll his paintings and exhibiting them within the Union of Artists. Arou
	nd the same time he was invited to paint a series of portraits for the
	 U.S. Embassy staff however he eventually had to curtail his work on t
	he portraits after the KGB became suspicious of his involvement with A
	mericans because of books he had read during his time with the militar
	y. In 1990 he showed works in Germany together with two other Russian 
	artists\; he visited Los Angeles for a show and stayed in the United S
	tates. In 1991 he allowed his dream to become reality. For a while he 
	was able to rent a small home garage in Los Angeles in which to paint\
	, but couldn't find anywhere to display them. He earned his money by d
	rawing people on the pier in Santa Monica. Eventually he spent his sav
	ings on a ticket to Hawaii and slept on the beach in Santa Monica unti
	l the flight left days later. His art was first noticed by the Asian c
	ontinent and then spread into America. In 2001 he opened his first gal
	lery\, Kush Fine Art in Lahaina\, Hawaii. He also now has another Kush
	 Fine Art Gallery in Laguna Beach\, California\, Las Vegas and in New 
	York.  The 'Heritage international art-gallery will present in Moscow

	nal oils of Vladimir Kush.  For additional information\, please contac
