Boris Kocheishvili (Russian: Бори́с Петро́вич Кочейшви́ли; born April 1, 1940) is an artist and poet who lives and works in Moscow, Russia. His works are in the collections of Tretyakov Gallery, Russian Museum, Pushkin Museum, Museum Ludwig (Germany), various museums and galleries in Russia, private collections of George Costakis (Greece), Cristina Barbano and Alberto Sandretti (Italy), Arina Kovner (Switzerland), Michael Alshibai and Vladimir Semenov (Moscow) and other private collections in Russia and abroad.
Boris Kocheishvili began his career as an artist starting back in the 1960s. Over the years Kocheishvili has explored different artistic techniques, experimenting with the potential of various media, attaining great expressiveness, often leading in completely new artistic territory.
In the 1960s, after graduating from Moscow Art College “Memory of the 1905 Revolution”, Boris Kocheishvili worked for several years at the Nivinsky Etching Studio. He showed in a 1963 Moscow exhibition of prints at the Pushkin Museum along with Illarion Golitsyn and Oleg Kudryashov.
Kocheishvili later experimented with Indian ink and chalk on paper to create several hundred pieces in which he explored abstract qualities of the contrast of black and white in innovative ways. In his art images of women, architectural fantasies, flowers, and a variety of other subjects fill a boldly charged, rhythmically patterned graphic space. Seeking to decipher the basic structure of the image, Kocheishvili has made many stylistic discoveries. In the body of his work, subjects flow from piece to piece, creating an interwoven universe of rhythms and patterns.
At the end of the 1960s Boris Kocheishvili turned to painting with oil. Working on a larger scale, using techniques discovered over years of experimentation with India ink he created refined, almost monochrome works. His oil paintings retain the subtlety and graphic impact of his earlier works.
