Valery Chtak

HERE’S THE PHRASE I’VE MADE: “NO LESS, THAN YOU, AND NOT TODAY.” I LIKE IT BECASE IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. EVERY WORD IS CLEAR WHEN SEPARATED, BUT WHAT DO I WANT TO SAY? I WANNA SAY NOTHING — I AM A DADAIST

Valery Chtak is a Russian conceptual artist. From the very beginning of his artistic career Valery created his figurative system that looks deliberately negligent: trickles of paint, uneven surfaces and edges. The artist primarily works with monochrome shades, rarely using color. Besides canvases, Chtak uses a variety of factures as a base for painting: craft paper, cardboard, tape, oilcloth, walls, ceilings and furniture.
