Oleg Kudryashov

Russian avant-garde artist Oleg Kudryashov was born in Moscow in 1932. He makes prints, paintings, and sculptures that are both constructivist and representational. Kudryashov works in an expressive manner that does not rely on preliminary drawings, but instead evolves during the process of making. As a result, many of his prints and paintings eventually become relief sculptures. Using hand press, burin, steel, brush, industrial cutters, and zinc plate, he creates work that is abstract but grounded in daily life and the industrial landscape.  


Kudryashov work has been included in group and solo shows internationally, including Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, Kreeger Museum, Washington, DC, Duke University, North Carolina, The George Washington University, Washington, D.C, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Trinity College, Dublin, and Barbican Centre London.
