LONDON.- Three preeminent Russian non-conformist artists appeared in public and spoke about their art together for the first time to mark the opening of the latest exhibition at London's Aktis Gallery. On 26th November, the gallery hosted a unique round-table discussion that included Oscar Rabin (b.1928), Oleg Tselkov (b.1934) and Vladimir Yankilevsky (b.1938). United in their pursuit of artistic integrity under a hostile regime in USSR during the 1960s and 1970s, but following quite different artistic directions, this is the first time that they have taken part in such an event. The discussion marked the opening of 'Squaring the Circle,' an exhibition which celebrates the distinctive routes that these artists, together with Dmitry Krasnopevtsev (1925-1995), have taken in the pursuit of their art.
