A painter, sculptor, and an enigmatic visual artist, Evgeny Chubarov translated his emotions, moods, and intellectual insights to a new unprecedented visual language. He created a visual iconography that thoroughly reunified a contemporary world and the spiritual art traditions.

Greatly inspired by Byzantine, Armenian, Russian and Arabic art – the art of illuminated manuscripts, calligraphy, and architecture – Chubarov always surrounded himself with illustrations of these masterpieces, declaring his calling as an artist as being the Medium that essentially brought these different worlds together.

For more than four decades of his career Chubarov worked in Berlin, New York, and Moscow, studying a phenomenon of the Pure Abstraction – a new intellectual form of the abstract gestural painting where the line and its implementation gained a special meaning.

Chubarov subjected the works to a game of improvisation. Fascinated by unpredictability of the abstraction, he understood improvisation in a musical sense acquainting the viewer with a phenomenon of symphonic work. There is no traditional center in his paintings. The composition is randomly scattered across the canvas. Created in defiance of academic canons, this arbitrary composition eliminates the internal balance of colors, shapes, and strokes and represent “non-relational art”.
