Oleg Aleksandrovich Kudryashov (born 1932) is one of the most prominent Russian contemporary artists to have emerged in the late 1950s under the restrictive conditions of the Soviet Union. His life and art represent genuine nonconformity, as he eschewed both political ambitions and social expectations, serving only his calling as an artist. He never embraced any kind of ideology, believing it to be the enemy of art because it limits the human imagination.
