Biography

Oleg Alexandrovich Kudryashov (24 January 1932 – 13 September 2022) was one of the most important Russian painters and printmakers of the Post-War era. He almost exclusively worked on paper using drypoint and watercolor/gouache as his medium. He is best known for his three-dimensional works, called constructions or reliefs, made by cutting and folding printed works to create sculptural pieces. Most of his works are unique or in very small editions.
