Maxim Bashev's work shown by Art-Kvartal Gallery was some of the last work I stopped to look at on my second day at Art Chicago/Next.
Bashev was born in Moscow and has been exhibiting for 25 years. In other words, he started young. His work is the sort of art that catches the eye of art aficionado and someone looking up basketball scores on their smart phone. It has a sort of dark quality to it that is belied by his use of color. Likewise he uses large areas of solid color against smaller areas of intricate, expressionistic painting (I use the term more in its dictionary definition than art-definition here).
His work seems to be in public collections mostly in Europe. Your best bet seeing it is in Europe, gallery shows or art shows. He is a significant artist in m humble and utterly unprofessional opinion.
