Alexander Stovbur (May 15, 1943, Omsk – June 4, 2019, Odesa) was a Ukrainian artist, known for his abstract minimalism.
[3] In the 1960s in Odesa, the young artists Alexander Anufriev, Vladimir Strelnikov, Valery Basanets, Ludmila Yastreb, Viktor Marinyuk, for the first time in Ukraine, began "non-conformist" traditions of fine art, unacceptable for the prevailing back then aesthetic tastes and views.
It was during the period when the creative and ideological foundations of the artistic language of Alexander Stovbur began to form.
At that time, the circle of like-minded people was spreading and the group, in addition to Alexander Stovbur, was joined by Vladimir Tsyupko, Valentin Khrushch, Stanislav Sychev, Ruslan Makoev, Yevgeny Rakhmanin, Igor Bozhko.
In 1992, Alexander Stovbur was one of the founders of the Choven art gallery, and in 1998 – the Mamai creative association.
