Work by Valery Chtak in collaboration with Kirill Lebedev (Kto) Diptych Dimensions: 289 x 190 cm and 139 x 190 cm

Valery Chtak (1981-2024) has developed his significant black and white painting style, an artistic language that he continues to explore to this day in the late 90s. Around the same time Chtak and friends attended an informal contemporary art school founded by Avdey Ter-Oganyan. Between 2000 and 2005 Chtak was part of the Radek Community – an artist association committed to staging cutting-edge performances. In 2007, he was part of the group exhibition Moscopolis, taking place in the Espace culturel Louis Vuitton in Paris. This show introduced a selection of artists, all who play a key role in the new contemporary art scene in Moscow. Valery is a nominee for the State Prize in the field of contemporary art "Innovation" in the nomination "New Generation" (project "Only Truth", 2011). The artist's works are held in the collections of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Vladimir Smirnov and Konstantin Sorokin Foundation, as well as in the private collections of Pierre Brochet, Andrei Tretyakov, Samir Sabe D’Acre and others.
