Peter Liashkov

Peter Liashkov has maintained an art practice in LA since the 1980s.
His work has been deeply rooted in the human figure; working two dimensionally in mixed media techniques on unusual grounds like synskin, fiberglass mesh and other translucent materials. Currently, his primary interest is reflecting on the ever-changing richness of Los Angeles since his immigration here 65 years ago.

He is Professor EMERITUS from Art Center College of Design, and has traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East. Since retiring from teaching he has done residencies in Russia, Norway, Argentina and the U.S.
