The Ukrainian painter Anatoliy Chudinovskikh turned to formalism after his studies at the Kharkiv Institute of the Arts, which made him a nonconformist in the realism of the time. Engagements as a painter and designer at various Ukrainian theatres and in Kharkiv’s artists’ combine shaped his career. Today Anatoliy lives in Cologne. His abstract, energetic paintings have a style all their own, which is particularly fascinating on canvas.
