"Immerse yourself within your self, and then you'll understand what a personal way of life is, as well as the burden of time; the severity of our dubious era will leave you, and help you free your body and soul. Become artist in the most simple and natural way." – Evgeny Chubarov (1934–2012)
Evgeny Chubarov, a painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and recipient of the prestigious Jackson Pollock Foundation award, stands as one of the most enigmatic artists of his time. Working in his unique style alongside iconic representatives of Soviet art such as Ilya Kabakov, Andrey Monastyrsky, and Erik Bulatov, Chubarov captured in his paintings the essence of a new era's philosophy, visually expressing the energy of the world around him and transforming abstract symbols into images of contemplation rooted in conceptual art.
