Igor Chelkovski is a recognized classic of modern art, a follower of the traditions of the Russian avant–garde. He was born in 1937 in Orenburg. In 1954, he entered the theater department of the Moscow Art College in memory of 1905. Lives and works in France and Russia.
His recognizable style was formed in the 1970s, it is a balanced minimalism combined with comprehensive completeness. This was facilitated by acquaintance with avant-garde artists and the acquisition of a workshop, where it became possible to work with three-dimensional forms. According to modern researchers, each work of the artist is "a clear articulation of a fully thought-out and plastically designed thought."
Chelkovski's three-dimensional compositions (reliefs) show a connection with his paintings and graphics, the subjects of which he translates into volume, reinterpreting them in artistic sculptural plastic.
Chelkovski's sculpture works not only with volume, but also with contour, sometimes resembling a drawing frozen in the air. But "for all its lightness and transparency, Chelkovski's plastic has retained the main features of classical sculpture: the truthfulness of impeccable lines, the harmony of forms in their architectural balance, impeccable coherence, elliptical generality that throws off everything superfluous, the absence of voids and evasive metaphors," wrote the famous art critic Evgeny Barabanov.
Chelkovski's works are in the Pompidou Center, the Russian Museum, the State Tretyakov Gallery and other museums around the world.
