Alexey Kallima
Alexey Kallima: (b.1969) in Grozny, Chechnya. He graduated from the Krasnodar college of Fine Arts. He became one of the most radical contemporary Russian artists because he worked with the horrifying theme of the Chechen War which the majority of Russian artists prefer to avoid. His works have been exhibited at the State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow, Russia), the State Russian Museum (St. Petersburg, Russia), the Louvre (Paris, France), as well as in many museums and galleries in Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Poland, USA, France, and the Czech Republic.
