Ilya Zomb: Painting
Saturday’s Stumble is Russian born painter Ilya Zomb. Zomb, who currently lives and works in New York, studied at the Odessa State Art College and the Odessa Art School between 1971 and 1979, majoring in fine arts.
Like Degas, Zomb is fascinated by the forms of ballet dancers which feature heavily in his works. Unlike Degas, Zomb’s paintings have more elements of fantasy. Ballerinas interact with animals and objects from the natural world, creating a dream-like quality that make them curiously unique.
Zomb’s paintings have been exhibited in group and solo shows across the United States and his work is in the permanent collection at the Knoxville Fine Arts Museum. As well, his work has been featured in numerous publications including Entree Magazine, The New York Observer, The Week, and others.
