NATIONWIDE LAUNCH OF RUSSIAN ARTIST VICTOR LYSAKOV

Pacific Grove, CA
December 1, 2006

An established artist in the international art world, Russian Artist Victor Lysakov is thrilled to present his modern, expressionistic work to the American public. The first exclusive Lysakov Art Gallery will open in Pacific Grove, California on December 1, 2006. The gallery is located at 305 Forest Avenue, where the community is invited to experience the nationwide unveiling of Lysakov’s artwork.

Named one of “The Best European Artists,” Lysakov has participated in several prestigious exhibitions and auctions in Russia, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Austria, France and Italy.

“Lysakov is a gifted artist, gifted by nature, by the grace of God…these paintings came out of his convictions, his emotions, his aesthetics, his entire being,” said Vasiliy Alexeievich Pushkarev, the legendary former Russian Museum Director.

Using oil or acrylic on canvas, Lysakov prefers vibrant, unmistakable colors – his color palette is very distinct. Each painting is its own unique creation and exudes a certain depth. New or seasoned, trusting or suspicious, frightened or fearless – the artist challenges you to grow bored with his paintings. His paintings demand to speak to you…in the language of modern expressionism.

Lysakov holds a vast personal collection of his beloved original paintings. Additionally, there are hundreds of paintings placed in private collections around the world. During Lysakov’s initial U.S. launch, however, only a select 40 paintings will be released and available for sale. They range in image size from a humble 14x14 to a majestic 58x50. All are offered at an extremely low edition size of 395 Giclée S/N (hand-signed and numbered) Prints and 30 Artist Proofs.

Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) is a French term roughly meaning "spray or squirt" which refers to the digital printing process. During printing, millions of microscopic droplets of ink per second are applied to the print media. A giclée is a high-end fine art print recognized as "the next best thing to owning the original.”

Artists at all levels and in a wide variety of media are creating prints using giclée technology. Buyers, attracted by the high quality and dynamic reproduction of giclées, have triggered a giclée explosion; while the fine art print market increases by about three percent annually, the giclée market is growing at more than 60 percent annually. In a $2.8 billion print market dominated by lithographs and serigraphs, giclées now total $160 million annually - and growing. According to CAP Ventures, digital fine art is expected to reach a retail value of $600 million by 2007.

Lysakov Art Company, Inc. is located in charming Pacific Grove, CA, which is in the heart of one of the nation’s art capitals – the Monterey Peninsula. On-site, the 4000 square foot facility houses the corporate offices, publishing headquarters and the first exclusive Victor Lysakov Gallery.
