Gennadii Gogoliuk was born in Sholkhov, Rostov Oblast, Russia in 1960. He studied at the Lugansk art school in the Ukraine and later at the St Petersburg Academy of Art. He worked for several years with the Kirov Theater (now the Mariinskii Theatre) in St Petersburg. He has exhibited work in Finland, Denmark, Germany (Kunstforum, Bonn, 1992 and Heimatmuseum, Burgeln 1993) as well as a joint exhibition at the Russian Museum, St Petersburg (1995). More recently, Gennadii was guest artist at the Arts Festival in Macerata, Italy (2008).

Since relocating to Edinburgh in 1998 he has exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy and the Society of Scottish Artists. In 2000 he received the Maud Gemmell Hutchison Prize at the Royal Scottish Academy. The artist’s first solo exhibition was held at John Martin in April 2001 and he has exhibited with the gallery regularly since then as well as in numerous international and group shows. His work is held in the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. A retrospective of his painting and performances, ‘Zero-Sixty’ was held in 2020 on the occasion of his 60th birthday, accompanied by further texts about his early career in St Petersburg.

'Vitality and intelligence radiate from the personages he depicts, most usually serious beings, slightly bemused, communing gently with the onlooker. Even when they look at you, there is never challenge in the engagement - quiet and inwardly powerful, they keep their solemn distance, even when smiling. His works present that vision of wholeness, to be achieved in art however fugitive in actual life'
