Red Horizon

Erik Bulatov is among the foremost contemporary Russian artists. In the 1960s, he was a founder of the Sretensky Boulevard Group of nonconformist artists in Moscow. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Bulatov immigrated to Paris, and his art became more critically engaged. Bulatov’s work was featured in the 1977 Venice Biennale and has been the subject of solo exhibitions, including at the Centre Pompidou-Musée National d’Art Moderne, in Paris (1988). He has lived in Paris since 1992. In 2008, Bulatov became an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts.
