Lucien Dulfan (Russian: Люсьен Вениаминович Дульфан) (born 14 February 1942, Frunze, Kyrgyz SSR) is a Soviet-born conceptualist artist, resident in the United States since 1990. During his career in the USSR, he was considered a Nonconformist artist.[1][2]

Biography

Lucien Dulfan was born in 1942 in Bishkek (then called Frunze, capital of Kyrgyz Soviet Socialist Republic) during World War II, where his family was evacuated.[3] The family returned to Odessa in 1946. After finishing his school he was accepted to the Grekov Odessa Art school from which he graduated in 1963. He became a member of the Artists' Union of the USSR in 1973, while working as a graphic artist for the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Iskra".[4] Lucien Dulfan emigrated with his family to the United States in 1990, settling in New York City.[5] He has his studio at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City.[6]

Work

According to StrangeTime Art, Dulfan's paintings "reflect the boundless energy, originality, and passion of the artist’s own personality."[7][8] Lucien Dulfan also works with objects and installation art and creates so called "wooden paintings".[9]

“My art is dramatic, bold and uncompromising: I paint the very interesting human story through the filters of my dreams and subconscious.” — Lucien Dulfan[10]
