Artist Slava Fokk belongs to the younger generation of southern Russian painters who, in the space of two decades, have created an aesthetic phenomenon that stands out against the background of modern Russian art.
The progress of these "Krasnodar painters" stems from their professional education and the availability of first-rate museum collections and exhibition spaces, which have made Krasnodar city a cultural center of southern Russia.
Slava slipped seamlessly into this movement by taking part in local and regional exhibitions in the early 2000s.
His cooperation with "Zero" -Moscow Gallery was particularly productive.
At the International Festival of Arts organized by the gallery in 2007, Fokk was awarded first prize in the category of "Traditions and Time", a prize which granted him the opportunity to hold several personal exhibitions in the United States between 2007-2009.
