Henry Elinson was born in 1935 in St. Petersburg, Russia. He studied philosophy, worked as a speech therapist, but by 1960’s art has become an all-consuming passion for Elinson, who became a key member of unofficial, nonconformist art circles and exhibitions of the Soviet underground. A number of his exhibits were closed by the authorities, and in 1973 he immigrated to USA. He lives in Monterey, California.
Elinson’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at venues including Banakh Gallery (with Mikhail Chemiakin), Nakhamkin, Paule Anglim, and other galleries and museums in New York, San Francisco, Washington, Paris, Milan, Berlin, London, St. Petersburg, and Tokyo. He was awarded a Gold Medal in Art Achievement by the city of Milan, and his work is held in various public and private collections including Museum of Fine Arts, San Francisco, University Art Museum, Berkeley, Yale University Gallery, Monterey Museum of Art, Duke University Museum of Fine Art, Bochum Museum (Germany), Russian State Museum (St. Petersburg), and Museum of Nonconformist Art (St. Petersburg). His work has received reviews by Naum Gabo, John Bolt, and other prominent critics and artists in national and international publications including Artforum, Artweek, and Washington Post.
The current exhibition at Porto Franco Art Parlor includes a retrospective of Elinson’s abstract and figurative pastels and works on paper.
