Igor Gusev
Once upon a time, back in the early 90s, Odessa artist Igor Gusev painted illustrations for magazines, zodiac signs and naked girls.
But with the end of the "difficult" years, the artist's work also changed. It became serious and measured. For example, in 2013, Gusev presented his paintings from retro images at the Dymchuk Gallery.
In 2012, at the London auction, Igor Gusev's painting "Club 27 Emmy" was sold for $ 19,500.
