A feature of the works of the 1970s (a series of lithographs "Severyata", "Family of a reindeer herder", "Faster than the Wind", "Son", "Repairmen", "Morning over the Ob") is the interest in the traditional way of life of the northern peoples.

Significant works of the 1980s — the series "Sports games" ("Throwing tynan", "Jumping over sleds") — are characterized by dynamism, intensity of the image. Paintings from this series were shown at the VI Republican exhibition "Soviet Russia" (Moscow, 1968).

He studied 3 courses of painting and dropped out, then began working as a graphic designer in a Tyumen department store. Then he returned to the university and graduated as a designer in 1981.

His real success is brought by the painting "Thoughts about his Father", which first appeared at the exhibition "Tyumen Land" (1977). This is not the only painting about the war. A whole cycle of his paintings is called "Memory of the War years". The second favorite topic is nature.

After the eighth grade, the young man entered the Uzhgorod Art College, from which he graduated in 1968 and moved to Tyumen. For the first time, the artist visited here a year earlier with a construction team. Mikhail was impressed by the trip. Here he realized that the rare beauty of wooden buildings would help his talent and inspiration unfold.

Since 1980, the artist has taught at the Tyumen Institute of Culture. The versatility of Gardubey’s talent, his erudition, high level of performance, glorification of kindness, beauty and female images allow us to speak of him as one of the leading artists of Tyumen.

An important place in Mikhail’s work is occupied by works based on literary works (the 1990s), the painting cycle "Don Quixote", a series of drawings for Goethe’s Faust, graphic sheets for short stories by X. L. Borges, which are not illustrations of a literary text.

He was born on May 1, 1955 in the village of Salemal in the Yamal district of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of the Tyumen Region. In early childhood, he was left without parents. At birth, he was named Taborchi, translated as "clean as a tear." Leonid received the Russian name upon admission to boarding school, securing it for the rest of his life.

After school, he continued his studies at the Moscow Secondary Art School for Gifted Children (1969−1974) (teacher N. P. Andriyako), and after that studied at the Moscow State Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov (workshop of M. M. Kurilko — Ryumin, painting, theatrical painting) (1974−1980). Since 1980 he has lived in Tyumen. He worked as a regional theater decorator.

In 1983, he left for Salekhard, where he taught at the Salekhard District School of Culture and Art for seven years. While working here, the young teacher often traveled with students to the camps of fishermen and hunters. This helped him to collect a wealth of material about the religious worldview of the Nenets. Since 1990, Lar has worked at the Salekhard Scientific Laboratory of History and Ethnography at the Institute of Problems of the Development of the North. In 1993, he became a member of the Union of Artists of the Russian Federation.

He was born on September 14, 1918 in the village of Onufrievo, Isetsky district, Tyumen region. In 1930, the family decided to move to Tyumen. Alexander Murychev received his initial art education in the art studio at the House of Pioneers from Vikenty Dubitsky and Alexander Mitinsky who taught him to work constantly from nature: Murychev walked a lot along the shore of the Tura, along the streets and surroundings of Tyumen, made sketches. It was the Tyumen flavor that deeply entered into his further serious work. From the age of 17, Alexander Murychev worked as a turner at a furniture factory.

When the Great Patriotic War began, he was 22 years old. In February 1942, Murychev was called up to the railway reconstruction battalion. The military specialty is a demolition miner. He built the second tracks of the Vologda-Arkhangelsk road, worked in the barrage squad on the Bataysk- Salsk — Kharkov — Belokorovichi — Sarny — Rivne — Lutsk line. All these railway stations were restored with his participation. On April 29, 1944, during the clearance of one of the minefields, Alexander Ivanovich was seriously wounded and lost his leg. In the same year, Murychev was demobilized and returned to Tyumen. He could no longer work as a turner, but continued his painting studies at the Vsekohudozhnik studio in Moscow with B.V. Johanson.

He participated in city, regional, zonal, republican and All-Union exhibitions. In 1961, he was admitted to the Union of Artists of the USSR. I have been preparing for a personal exhibition for many years, I planned it in the year of my 70th birthday. But he did not live to see her for two years, died in 1986. Murychev is the author of landscapes, still lifes, thematic compositions. He worked in the technique of watercolor, linocut, woodcut. Most of all, he loved to paint the streets of Tyumen.

He was born in 1928 in the village of Malorechka in the Shilabokhinsky district of the Altai Territory. He studied at the Kazakh State Art College in Alma-Ata (1946−1951) and the I.E. Repin Institute in Leningrad (1951−1957) with I.A. Serebryany, was a classmate of Ilya Glazunov. In 1951, he was admitted to the Union of Artists of the USSR.

The beginning of the artist’s career took place in the 1960s. At that time it was fashionable to praise people of work, but in the works of Viktor Ovcharov, the heroic is side by side with the simple and understandable. The artist worked in equal techniques: oil, sanguine, tempera, colored stones, mosaic, sgraffito.

In 1967, Ovcharova came to Tyumen as an artist with experience in monumental and decorative art. He decorated the facades and interiors of the regional Philharmonic Hall, the School of Arts, and many administrative buildings. Ovcharov carried out orders for monumental works for Yalutorovsk and Nizhnevartovsk. Occasionally engaged in architecture of small forms, painted decorative panels, participated in the festive decoration of Tyumen streets. Ovcharov was a participant in regional, zonal, republican, and all-Union exhibitions.

In 1975−1980. Viktor Petrovich taught at the Tyumen College of Arts in the painting department and worked actively in painting himself. Almost every work of the master, one way or another, reflects the history and modernity of our region. More than once the artist made trips to the Tyumen North. He lived with oilmen, geologists, gas workers in trailers, shift camps, in chums, families of fishermen, reindeer herders. The Tyumen Region gave Viktor Petrovich a lot of meetings with bright personalities. Another theme of Ovcharov’s work is winter motifs. His landscapes exude inner warmth and love for the Siberian nature. The works of Viktor Petrovich Ovcharov are in the Tyumen Museum of Fine Arts, the Tyumen Regional Museum of Local Lore, the Tobolsk Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve, the Krasnoyarsk Art Museum, in private collections in Russia, Canada, England, the USA, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, China.

He taught at the Tyumen College of Arts at the department of actor of the puppet Theater (1974−1976; 1984−1987).

Oskolkov’s sketches and dolls have been repeatedly exhibited at All-Union exhibitions of theater artists, regional and city exhibitions, and published in the Theater magazine. The sense of the material, the choice of scale when creating dolls or masks, the unfolding of the stage action in several plans characterizes Vladimir Semenovich as a talented production designer. One of the most successful performances staged by him in collaboration with director A. S. Tuchkov was a performance based on the play by Grigory Gorin "Forget Gerostratus".

In 1983 Vladimir Semenovich was accepted into the Union of Artists of the USSR. Oskolkov was awarded many times for his talent: in 1984 he was the winner of the Tyumen Komsomol Prize (for the play "Forget Herostratus", 1984), in 1985 he was the winner of the drama festival in Poland (for the play "At the Behest of the Pike", etc. In 1998, at the Tyumen Regional festival-competition "Golden Horse", he was awarded the title of "Best Artist of the Year" (for the play "Sambo"). Each of his dolls is recognizable and each is unique, each has its own style, its own highlight. He was invited to performances in puppet theaters in Moscow, Krasnodar, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Novosibirsk, Novokuznetsk, Nizhnevartovsk, Kaliningrad.

Since the 1990s, he has been actively working as a painter. His main themes are landscapes and variations on the theme of the theater. The works are in the Tyumen Regional Museum of Local Lore, in museum collections at puppet theaters, as well as in private collections in Russia, Finland, England, France, and Poland.

He was born in 1951 in the village of Dmitrievskoye, Ivanovo region. He studied at the Ivanovo Art College (1966−1970) with I.D. Kalashnikov, A.P. Gorely. From 1974 to 1977, he was a volunteer at the Academy of Arts (Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I.E. Repin) of Leningrad. He studied painting in the workshops of V.A.

The State Russian Museum of St. Petersburg has 12 paintings by Alexander Pavlov in its collections. The master’s paintings can be found in museums in Siberia, in private collections in Russia, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and the USA. He currently lives in Tyumen.

Pankov was born in 1910, in the village Shchekurye of Tobolsk province. At the beginning of the war, he volunteered for the front. There, somewhere on the Volkhov Front, the life of an original artist was cut short, whose paintings can now be seen in the Russian Museum, the Museum of the Arctic and Antarctic, the Tyumen Museum of Fine Arts, and private collections… Konstantin's father, a Nenets by nationality, moved to Shchekurya from Pechora, married a Mansi woman.

Konstantin was left without parents at an early age, he was raised in the family of his older brother Prokopy. Since childhood, he has been getting furs and fishing. But suddenly his life changed dramatically. In Pankov, who graduated only from parochial school, someone also saw a future business executive or party activist. Studying at the Moscow courses was not easy for Pankov. "I had to work very hard. I was reading all the time. When you come to class, every word is new, every word is unprecedented, which you have not heard before. By spring, I was very tired. It was very difficult to practice, it was easier to fish. I got into these courses completely illiterate." While studying, draw native lands from memory.

After the Moscow courses, Pankov went to study in Leningrad, at the Institute of the Peoples of the North. The Institute was located in the building of the former theological Academy on the territory of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. Students from the northern hinterland studied there. In the 1920s, Leningrad became a genuine cultural capital for the indigenous peoples of the Far North and the Far East. The Northern Faculty of the Leningrad Oriental Institute (later transformed into an independent Institute of the Peoples of the North) paid great attention to the development of their talents. Art workshops were created there. Northern students who grew up in the tundra and taiga, for the first time picked up pencils and brushes, learned to sculpt from clay. Pankov found himself in the workshops in 1934. He was offered to draw native plots from memory. The pictures turned out to be bright, and everything from the daily life of a northerner: a hunter shoots birds, a fisherman catches red fish, green trees grow on the banks of the river, golden deer graze, red squirrels on the trees.

In 1937, the works of Northerners, including Pankov, decorated the Soviet pavilion in Paris. The 1937 World Exhibition of Arts and Technology was held in the French capital and went down in history as a review of human achievements on the eve of World War II. The Soviet exhibition collected 270 awards, 95 of them — the Grand Prix, 70 gold, 40 silver, 6 bronze medals, more than fifty diplomas. Tens of thousands of Parisians were amazed by the fine art of the peoples of the Far North. The jury of the exhibition awarded the Northerners, including Pankov, the Grand Prix gold medal.

He was born in 1938 in the village of Oktyabrsky in a strong peasant family. His parents were dispossessed and expelled from the village of Labino in the Yurginsky district of the Omsk region. During the war, my father was drafted into the labor army. The mother, in order to save the younger children from starvation, transferred them to the Karachi orphanage, and she got a job near the children, in the village of Degtyarevo. It was in the orphanage that the boy’s interest in drawing manifested itself. Vanya tried to imitate the older children who draw well and his beloved teacher. After graduating from the age of seven, Ivan went to the Tobolsk River School, and after graduating, he completed several navigations. But the craving for drawing led Ivan to Omsk, where the landscape painter I.Y. Sivokhin became his first mentor.

In 1968. Ivan Purtov entered the Ural School of Applied Arts in Nizhny Tagil. He graduated from college in 1972, and in the same year Purtov came to Tobolsk, where he began working in the workshops of the art fund. Ivan Grigorievich, as a muralist, was engaged in both mosaics and carvings. In his spare time, Ivan painted in watercolor. In 1982, he became a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR.

On July 11, 1997, the artist passed away after a long serious illness, but remained alive in his creative legacy. Ivan Grigoryevich’s works are in private collections in Russia, Italy, Finland, Yugoslavia, America, Poland, and in the funds of the Tyumen Museum and Educational Association.

He was born in 1932 in the village of Usalka, Yarkovsky district, Tyumen region. He created many monuments and sculptures that adorn Tobolsk and Tyumen. He received his first professional skills from P.N. Lazutyatsky in Tobolsk. From 1954 to 1978, he worked in the Tobolsk art production workshops of the Tyumen branch of the Art Fund of the RSFSR.

Raspopov’s sculptural works adorn the streets and squares of Siberian cities. The first sculpture in Tyumen was "Tyumen Flying", the entrance sign to the city from the Yalutorovsky tract, which was installed in 1984. The author saw Tyumen as a free, flying woman who hands the key to the city to the citizens.

To every native of Tyumen, the monument created by Nikolai Vasilyevich "To students of Tyumen schools who did not return from the war" is dear. N.V.Raspopov is the author of many famous sculptural compositions installed in the Tyumen region. The Philharmonic hall is decorated with a memorial plaque to the famous Tyumen resident Yuri Gulyaev. A monument "Life for the Truth" dedicated to journalists who died in the line of duty has been erected in Tobolsk (the image of photojournalist Alexander Efremov, who died in Chechnya in 2000).

He was born in 1924 in the village of Lohtotkurt in the Sherkalsky village Council of the Oktyabrsky district of the Ostyako-Vogulsky National District, but his life and work are inextricably linked with the Berezovsky district.

In 1944, the first paintings by Mitrofan Alekseevich appeared. These were landscapes ("Lake Turvat. Ural", "Ust-Manya. Autumn"), painted in Berezovo from memory and the first sketch from nature "Shuga na Sosva".

He created a series of works "Berezovsky landscapes". Forty-two plots convey the love for the streets of our quiet village. Its pristine beauty attracts numerous sketches from the series "Shaitan landscapes".

In 1993, the opening of the Sumytvosh exhibition took place. Here the Khanty painter turned to the past, depicting from nature the still preserved merchant houses and warehouses, recreated on his canvases the cathedral in Berezovo in 1910, the Mother of God-the Nativity Church of the XVIII century, using photographs, studying the history of the ancient settlement.

After the revolution and the early death of his father, the farm fell into disrepair. The family was dispossessed and had to move to Tyumen.

At the age of 62, he became a part-time student at the Moscow University of Arts, but failed to graduate, he studied independently. During his creative life, he painted more than a hundred paintings. The key to the artist’s work are paintings about the war. There are not many of them — only three, but they are worth a lot.

He was born on June 11, 1953 in the village of Osinova in the Yalutorovsky district of the Tyumen region. Vladimir had dreamed of becoming an artist since childhood, but there was no art school in the village. Just the usual drawing lessons. A talented student was noticed, and all the design work at school was on him. After graduating from the eighth grade in 1968, he went to enroll in Sverdlovsk. But he failed, and returned to the village. He got a job as a decorator at a collective farm, and the next year he submitted documents to a vocational school — to the department of artistic stone processing. He was fascinated by working with stone, after two years of study he received a diploma with honors, and some of his works were already exhibited at VDNH in Moscow. In 1972, Sharapov entered the Saratov Art College. During his studies, he was drafted into the army. After completing his service, he was reinstated at the college and graduated in 1979. In the same year, he got married and returned to Yalutorovsk with his young wife. Young artists were given a workshop and housing in the city.

Vladimir did not have enough education at the school, and from 1983 to 1988 he studied at the Leningrad Higher Art School named after V.I. Mukhina under V.L. Rybalko. In 1988, Sharapov qualified as an artist in architectural and decorative plastics. In 1990, the Sharapovs opened a children’s art school in Yalutorovsk, in the same year Vladimir Nikolaevich was accepted as a member of the Union of Artists of Russia.

Sharapov’s works have entered the collections of many Russian museums. Yalutorovsk’s largest collection, of course, includes paintings, graphics, works of easel and monumental sculpture of various genres and materials.

In 2002, Sharapov was awarded the medal "For Contribution to the Heritage of the Peoples of Russia" by the Russian Union of Historical Cities and Regions. The name of Vladimir Nikolaevich Sharapov is listed in the encyclopedia "The best people of Russia".

Zaitsev.

Ostap Pavlovich left Leningrad, first to Tyumen, and then to Tobolsk. The quiet town with wooden pavements, ancient churches and the Kremlin conquered him. His workshop was located in the abandoned sacristy of the St. Sophia Assumption Cathedral. Shrub lived in Tobolsk for many years, working on paintings. It is noteworthy that by the 380th anniversary of the ancient capital of Siberia, a mosaic image of Semyon Remezov, made by Ostap Pavlovich, appeared at the entrance to the Sofia Courtyard of the Tobolsk Kremlin. His paintings were exhibited in the halls of Moscow, Sverdlovsk, Perm, Tobolsk, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, reproductions were published in central magazines. On the recommendation of Ilya Glazunov, Shrub made drawings for Yuri Tupitsin’s book "Red Cranes". In 1965, Shrub was admitted to the Union of Artists of the USSR. The last years of his life Ostap Pavlovich lived in Tyumen. He passed away on the eve of a solo exhibition in 1999.
