Michael Cheval is a contemporary artist known for
his Absurdist paintings, drawings, and
portraits that capture the imagination by turning
reality on its head. Cheval presents his
ingenious artwork as a puzzle. He invites the
viewer to solve the hidden meaning behind his art
by using clues within the artworks title and
imagery. Cheval has won numerous awards for his
art including Best of Worldwide Oil Artists by
Kennedy Publishing in 2009. He is a member of the
prestigious National Arts Club in New York City,
where in 2000 he was distinguished with the
Exhibition Committee Award at the annual club
exhibition and the internationally-acclaimed
Society of Art and Imagination in London. Michael
Cheval was born in 1966 as Mikhail Khokhlachev in
Kotelnikovo, a small town in southern Russia.  He
grew up among paints and brushes, canvases and
easels.  His grandfather, a professional artist
and sculptor, developed Michaels love for
drawing in his early childhood.  A three-year-old
boy, he could already draw complex multi-figured
compositions, illustrating his fantasies and
impressions. In 1980, Michael and his family
moved to Germany.  His new setting made a great
impression on the young artist.  Museums and
castles, ancient streets and wonderful landscapes
of southern Germany permanently defined Michaels
tastes and predilections.  Always interested in
history and literature, Michael became absorbed
in music. He organized a band and devoted a
number of years to rock n roll.  He composed
songs and wrote poetry. After graduating school
and serving in a Soviet Army, Michael moved to
Nebit-Dag, a Turkmenistan city in the middle of
Kara-Kum desert, near the Iranian border. 
Absorbing Oriental philosophy and the character
of Central Asia, he began working as an
independent professional artist, shaping his
style and surrealistic direction.  Michael
collaborated with several theaters and publishing
houses in Nebit-Dag and Ashgabat.  In 1992, he
graduated from Ashgabat school of Fine Art. In
1990, Michael held his first personal exhibition
in Turkmenistans National Museum of Fine Art. 
This was a significant event for the 24-year-old
artist that showed high appreciation from the
republics artist community.  In 1994, Michael
moved to Russia and worked in Moscow as an
independent artist and an illustrator for various
publishing houses, including the famous
book-publishing house Planeta. His decision to
immigrate in 1997 to USA began a new epoch for
the artist.  He returned to the Western culture
that greatly inspired him in his youth, but now
he brought his own experience, his philosophy and
vision
