"We were guests to a living genius." (с) Ilya Kabakov. After a visit to Chubarov's studio in 1978.

Evgeny Chubarov was born on 11 December 1934 in the village of Lower Bobino, Mechetlinskiy district of Bashkiria (USSR). Artist's passion for drawing and painting appeared in his childhood, under the influence of his father.

In early 1990s, at the invitation of Gary Tatintsian, he moved to Berlin and then to New York city, where his style underwent its last transformation. Chubarov headed from impressionism to pure abstraction and succeeded. He was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and participated in exhibitions on equal footing with the leading artists of the post-war generation: Frank Stella, Peter Halley, Sol LeWitt and Damien Hirst.
