About the Item

PENGUIN MIGRATION This hand crafted Giclee print on canvas of 'Penguin Migration', by Boris Chetkov, provides the opportunity to own and enjoy a Chetkov masterpiece at a very affordable price. Beautifully textured with a clear gesso finish following Chetkov’s distintive brushwork, this reproduction was exclusively authorized by the artist and is currently available only on 1stDibs. "The years 1989 to 1991 were characterized by a series of expressive action paintings by Chetkov, reflecting his jubilation during the collapse of the USSR, a regime which had been oppressive to him throughout his life. Penguin Migration is exemplary of this period. The immediacy of brush strokes, the open rhythm of counterclockwise movement (seen in many of his works) and the contrasting juxtaposed colors evoke a range of emotions and interpretations for the viewer and provide insight to the artists’ subconscious commentary." - Theodora Clarke, Russian art scholar, The Courtauld Institute of Art From 1995 until 2014, when Russia invaded Crimea (at which time cultural exhange largely came to an end) the Pushkin Gallery collected exceptional works from the period of postwar Soviet Union. Kenneth Pushkin comments, "the paintings in this collection are rare and among the most significant examples of painting from this period - and they are beautiful. It’s notable that the highest-level works from this period have all but disappeared - acquired by museums or hidden in private collections. We offer collectors the opportunity to acquire gorgeous works of art that resonate with history at a very reasonable price.” In 2000, the Pushkin Gallery moved to a 300-year-old restored hacienda in the world-renowned art center of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where the unique gallery became a must-see destination for art lovers. Visitors commented that the Pushkin Gallery was like a museum. "Perhaps, it's because we disseminate knowledge," remarked Kenneth. With best-of-class curation and gallery practices, Pushkin Gallery became one of the most recognized purveyors of Russian art in the U.S. Since the inception of the Pushkin Gallery, 30 years ago, many of the most important and beautiful paintings have been retained in a privately held collection and never shown publicly. Now for the first time, these reserved paintings are being selectively published as Giclee prints.

    This hand crafted Giclee print on canvas, 'Before the Race', by Boris Chetkov, provides the opportunity to own and enjoy a Chetkov masterpiece at a very affordable price. Produced to the exact size of the original work and beautifully textured with a clear gesso finish following Chetkov’s distinctive brushwork, this reproduction was exclusively authorized by the artist and is currently available only on 1stDibs. "The horse plays a prominent role in Chetkov’s oeuvre, symbolizing youth, freedom and the flight of time, always conveying a sense of energy and animation. He related closely with Kandinsky who famously noted, “Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another purposely, to cause vibrations to the soul."
