MIHAIL CHEMIAKIN (1943-) “Fish and Knife” Original Gouache on Paper

Original gouache on paper by Russian painter and stage designer Mihail Chemiakin (1943-) depicts a traditional still life of a fish sprawled out on a darkened table, chopped vegetables and a knife laying at its side. A controversial member of the non-conformist art movement that resisted Soviet-era culture and brutality, Chemiakin utilizes heavy textures to create a work of art that is enrapturing, yet unsettling with its darkened, enigmatic palette. Framed in polished metallic gold, this original gouache is signed by the artist in the lower right hand corner of the paper.
