Chubarov
C 1 to November 25 in Voronezh gallery " HLAM " An exhibition is perhaps one of the most enigmatic artists of recent times - Iosifovicha Chubarova .
His works are held in the Pushkin Museum Pushkin, Tretyakov Gallery, MMSI, Museum of Rutgers University in New Jersey (Collection of Norton Dodge ), and other personal exhibitions were held with great success all over the world: in 2004 , for example, it was exhibited in the Marble Palace in St. Petersburg ( Russian Museum) and the Moscow NCCA .
However, about himself and his life to the public virtually unknown. Information and publications on the artist during his lifetime are very few , but some have been able to find .
Eugene Chubarov was born December 11, 1934 in Bashkiria ( a more precise indication of the place of birth sources differ : mention of the village Bobino and Emashev ).
Like many famous artists, he became interested in art at an early age , but it is clear that in the small village of Bashkir art education was nowhere to get a special , so after graduating from school , the future artist went to the city of Zlatoust (300 km from Ufa ) , where in 1954 he graduated from vocational school in the local iron and steel works in the specialty engraver - chaser . After graduation Çubar remained at the plant , where he worked in the specialty until 1959 .
In 1959, he moved to Zagorsk ( Sergiev Posad ).
In Zagorsk Çubar finally met a professional artist - sculptor D. F. Tsaplina . Dmitry Philippovich Tsaplin - once known sculptor of animals. In the 1920s and 30s through the patronage of Lunacharsky , he studied the experience of European modernism itself in Paris and at the same time in French newspapers earned the nickname " the great Russian guy from the Volga ." Çubar Tsaplina worked for a journeyman and, obviously , he took over and interest in the image of animals (think of the many chubarovskih bulls ) and the free attitude to the form. Influence Tsaplina clearly seen in many sculptural experiments Chubarova - for example, in a monument to the victims of repression in 1937 , which can be seen in the sculpture park " Muzeon " in Moscow. In a composition consisting of 237 sculptural heads , obviously traced the desire to simplify the forms , the coarsening of them , taking care of augmented reality for , realism to the generalized form that adds a heads Chubarova and figurines of animals Tsaplina features of monumentality and eternity .

In 1960 - x Çubar did a lot of the same expressive and figurative paintings and underlined graphic series . He wrote without any social promise, wrote those every day saw beside him - the inhabitants of a small town , neighbors, men and women .
In 1968 Chubarov moved closer to Moscow , in Mytishschi , where , with some interruptions ( in the late 1980s he spent several years living and working in Germany) lived until his death in 2012 .
in Mytishchi it , by the way , and worked on his sculpted heads. One of his friends , the artist Hsar Gassiyev recalled: "Mr. Mytischi , 6th district , a huge field between the street and the Jubilee and Northern CHP. Somewhere in the middle - a small hill , a summer "workshop - dug " by sculptor Eugene Chubarova . Dug , a large mast, dug into the ground, climbing rollers roof . The system of his own invention . Possesses great physical strength Çubar raised the roof with a rope installed abutments was obtained workshop. In the evening , after work shop folded back . On the field, the sculptor found large stones ( diameter 30-50 cm) , were dragged into the " master " and chopping of their heads .

The main workshop Chubarova , in a deep basement of a house, the walls of the grid wire. Over the grid , he threw the head, brought from the field. Stood next to the figure of the tree. Over time, these heads of different stones have accumulated a huge amount. An eerie sight in the basement, in the shadows ... So there was a monument to the victims of Stalinist repression in the sculpture park in Moscow ( for CHA ) ».
Until the late 1980s the main occupation of the artist remained sculpture and graphic ( mostly) series. Some of them are quite typical still life with vases and leaves , a cycle consisting of sketches of people , mostly ordinary passers-by , attracted the attention of the artist , as well as a huge number of pictures of birds flying and clawed predators. His drawings are usually emphasized dynamic and extremely expressive. His head hit the energy , even some of his nudes, in which this tension , in general, are usually not provided .

Çubar worked much fruitful , however , despite the fact that in 1975 he was admitted to the Union of artists of the USSR , the things he was not a success in the official artistic organizations .
One of artist friends ( party forum AI) says: " 1985 . Çubar went to KZHI ( Pictorial Works of Art MOSH ) on the street. Gorky 48. Brought a pack of his drawings ... He went to one, to another, the third ...

Mid -1980s and the period of perestroika in general were not the best time in the life of the artist. Because arthritis Chubarova had to completely abandon sculpture and focus exclusively on the visual arts . Even remember that, immediately after the adjustment on the Old Arbat could see Chubarova , sell sheets graphics. Sheet of A3 cost 25 rubles .
In 1988, the artist and his wife went to Germany for several years. Çubar later told his friends that he was given shelter and a workshop there , provided the materials , he created a large number of works . "While some earned , all the pictures were in Germany, but was waiting for what that shifts »
Life in Russia in the early 1990s, when Chubarov returned to the country , was still far from stable and arranged the necessary artist , so he decided to live in Germany a little more .
The next time he came back to Mytishchi in 1996 .
It was during the second trip , in 1990 came from the original Çubar expressive figuration to complete abstraction. And it brought a large abstract compositions Evgeny Chubarov fame in the international arena . Increased attention to abstractions Chubarova in 1990-2000 -ies largely occurred due to the gallerist Tatintsian Gary (Gary Tatintsian). With his support, the monumental abstraction Chubarova were shown on the well-known venues in Europe and the U.S., and later in Russia .

in 1995 he received a grant from the Çubar " Pollock Krasner ," who maintains outstanding artists around the world ( since its establishment in 1985, the artists in 75 countries were awarded 3,850 grants totaling more than $ 58 million ).
in 1999, Gary Tatintsyan presented on the web Chubarova group exhibition at his New York gallery . And in 2004, the artist's solo exhibitions were held at once in a big way and in Moscow and St. Petersburg. I must say that the artist has no personal part in any exhibitions (even personal ones, even in Russia ) , nor in the hype associated with the price of his paintings did not accept, preferring to live a closed , " solitary " life in suburban Mytischi .
Among the surviving memories of the most famous Chubarova associated with a visit to the studio Chubarova Ilya Kabakov in company Victor Pivovarova and Vitaly Patsyukova in 1978 or 1979. Kabakov , struck furnishings shop, said: "We were at a party in a living genius." Vitaly Patsyukov later described the artist: " This is a mammoth frozen in a block . This lump he experienced the whole evolution - from amoeba to date, recorded it on your hard drive and as soon as it thawed , was able to give out the information stored in a single plane ».

But the best uniqueness of abstract expressionism Chubarova perhaps expressed gallery owner Gary Tatintsyan : "I Chubarova chose it for its ability to reflect , to a live reaction to what he saw , said proposed . Each of his paintings - this space, in which many worlds. Macrocosm in which every element of the microcosm is a genius and perfected . Çubar incredibly sensitive to the experience of the art world , he always coexist in dialogue with the surrounding new culture. When he lived in the Russian province , and he did things on the basis of provincial Russian , cheap popular consciousness , devoid of intellectual culture , but inspired by his mysticism . Working in the West, was surrounded by Çubar catalogs , books, but did not try to copy what already exists, and create something new. He maneuvered between figurative and abstract art world . It was a kind of slalom . As a result Çubar completely eliminated from history : not wanting to compete with it , he went in the direction where no one had ever wandered ».
In 2007, abstract works Chubarova first appeared at auction. February 15 at Sotheby's on his large , 2 × 3 meter work " Untitled " (1992 ), which has in the asset sale in the gallery Gary Tatintsian (1999 ) and exposure at the State Russian Museum ( 2004) , was sold for 240,000 pounds ( 358,000 euros) , four times higher than the upper bound estimate (40-60 thousand pounds). So far this is the best result of the Russian artist 's debut on the world art market. Six months later, the auction house Phillips De Pury sold a similar job of the artist is for 600,000 pounds - a record amount for pictures Chubarova .
