EVGENY CHUBAROV
Evgeny Chubarov was born 1934 in the village of Nizhnee Bobino, Bashkortostan.
He was a painter, graphic artist, sculptor and award winner of Jackson Pollock’s Foundation.
“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 artists in the most simple and natural way.”
Evgeny Chubarov
Ilya Kabakov (artist): “We were guests to a living genius.” (After a visit to Chubarov’s studio with Patsukov and Pivovarov in 1978-79).
Vitaly Patsukov (critic): “He was a mammoth frozen in ice. He survived all evolution from the amoeba to modern times. He recorded it all to his “hard drive” and upon being thawed, he was able to expel all this information into one plane.”
Sam Keller (director of Art Basel art fair): “Chubarov’s works are one of the brightest impressions of Art-Moskva-2006.”
Alexander Borovsky (The Newest Tendencies Department at the Russian Museum, St. Petersburg): “It’s so witty and well made that it resembles all the best of art history combined.”
Gary Tatintsian (gallerist): “Looking at some of Chubarov’s works, it is impossible to guess who made them: a man or a woman, a young artist or an old one. They possess an extraordinary amplitude of perception that is subtle, celestial, and transparent. Although this may sound blasphemous, Chubarov’s calligraphic aesthetic and absolutely thorough grasp on intellectual abstraction is in many ways purer than that of his predecessors of “gesture painting”. It’s a molecular way of thinking, an elegance that resembles Chinese art.
