Boris Chetkov, Russian painter (born 1926)

Boris Alexandrovitch Chetkov was a Russian painter and glass artist whose works ranged across genres but can be loosely aligned with Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism and Figurative Expressionism. His theories on art and use of colour also align him broadly with Modernism and Kandinsky though in his painting he worked largely in isolation from his peers and remained disconnected from the international art community until the end of Communism. He was a member of the Saint Petersburg Union of Artists.
