Oleg Vassiliev, who has chosen Faggionato Fine Art for his first UK exhibition, was a major player in Russia's dissident art movement. After working as a children's book illustrator for much of his life, he emigrated to the US in the 1990s and traded Moscow for New York and Minnesota. The money he earned from his day job enabled him to buy oils and canvas to create the almost photo-realistic landscape paintings on show here, which depict scenes from his Soviet surroundings and the natural world.
