Grisha BRUSKIN
Grisha Bruskin was born in 1945 in Moscow, Russia. Early on, the artist found refuge in the study of Hebrew and Judaism to counter the banalities of communist propaganda that surrounded him. Much of his painting and print work consist of figures placed on top of cursive Hebrew texts. Like many of his contemporaries, Bruskin is occupied with the relation of text and image, but he leaves their connection unspecified. In 1988 Bruskin moved to the United States, and currently lives and works in New York City.
Bruskin's work is included in numerous public and private collections including, but not limited to, the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois; Galeria Arte Nacional, Caracas, Venezuela; Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel; Jewish Museum, New York, New York; Kunsthalle Emden, Emden, Germany; Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany; Museum of Modern Art, New York, New York; State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, Russia; State Russian Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia; State Tretyakoft Gallery, Moscow, Russia; Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
