SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Evgeni Lvovich Rukhin (1943–1976), also known as Evgeny Rukhin, belongs to Soviet nonconformist art. While studying geology in Leningrad, he also attended classes at the Mukhina School as a nonmatriculated student. In 1974 he helped organise the Bulldozer Exhibition in Moscow, a significant occasion for the independent presentation of art in the Soviet Union.
His painting incorporates discarded materials whose textures become subjects in their own right. The AZ Museum presents Composition with Wires, dated 1976. In the Dodge Collection at the Zimmerli Art Museum, an Untitled work of 1975 combines rope, netting, embossed acrylic and wood on canvas. These tangible objects move painting towards assemblage, where the surface retains traces of earlier use and acquires a strongly material presence.
