About the artist: Born on January 24, 1943 in occupied Odessa. He received his primary art education at the Odessa Art School.
In the 1950s, he studied at the Odessa Art College (teachers Zaitsev, Egorov, Pavlyuk, Fraerman).
Many critics believe that the “Fence Exhibition” organized in 1967 by young artists Valentin Khrushch and Stanislav Sychev “Sychik + Khrushchik” on the fence of the Odessa Opera House became the starting point of “Odessa non-conformism” [1]. This exhibition lasted only three hours [1].
He took part in organizing the first “apartment exhibitions” in Odessa [1]. He was also involved in a kind of proto-actionism (but he never documented his actions): “an exhibition for birds,” when he simply hung his paintings for birds on trees; or “exhibition for the sea”: he came to the sea, hung his abstract painting on the wall of the beach, photographed and left. [2]
Since the late 1970s, the name of Valentin Khrushch, as well as his colleagues in Odessa nonconformism, A. Anufriev, V. Strelnikov, L. Yastreb, V. Marinyuk, S. Sychov, V. Basants, began to appear in foreign catalogs and exhibition expositions.
In 1979, he participated in the unofficial exhibition "Contemporary Art from Ukraine" (Munich-London-Paris-New York).
In 1982, Valentin Khrushch moved from Odessa to Moscow [3].
Recent years, Valentin Khrushch spent in the town of Kimry, Tver region, where he died of cancer on January 24, 2005 [3]. He was buried there in the fence of the St. Nicholas Church
