Talantbek Chekirov’s subtly erotic nudes are cast in lushly romantic dreamscapes swirling with yearning and passion. From the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, Chekirov studied plastic anatomy, graphics, composition, theatrical painting and constructive art. After completing his education, Chekirov created scenery for the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre. A versatile ornamental artist, Chekirov also paints idealized images of exquisite landscapes and majestic horses, all rendered in the swift, luminous, stylized brushstrokes that have become his trademark.
