Zinaida Ruban

Zinaida Ruban was born in 1949 in Mariinsk. Jointly with her husband, artist and poet Nikolai Myasnikov, she co-founded White Gallery, an informal creative association bringing together unofficial artists from Novosibirsk, Barnaul, and Gorno-Altaysk.

Ruban’s artworks are distinguished by her characteristically concise, conventionalised, and geometrical painting manner gravitating towards monumentality.
