“Mihail Chemiakin’s art is akin to theater, unusual and unpredictable.  A carnival of colors, characters, emotions. Each subject is irrational as a sensation of the wold around us can be irrational.  Each line is a confession of the hand” by Boulat Okudzava, 1989

“We first saw the work of Mihail Chemiakin in paris in 1979 and were immediately fascinated by the oriignality and dynamism o fhtis immensely talented Russian.  We introduced his art to the Bowles/Sorokko Galleries in the spring of 1981, and have been representing it in America ever since.  Chemiakin’s work elicited enormous enthusiasm from a large spectrum of American collectors.  Viewers reacted strongly to the brilliantly daring colors, meticulously drafted compositions and pure artistic values of Chemiakin’s oeuvre  “, by Serge Sorokko/Bowles-Sorokko Gallery, CA, 1989

“I think one should pay attention to certain sculptures by Mihail Chemiakin,-mysteriously smiling or threatening masks surface from a world we do not know about…human bodies tomented by their exterem elegance and sophistication”   by Prof. Furio
