Sculptor, artists, engraver and printmaker, Igor Kononov was born in Moscow, Russia in 1931. He received his first formal art training studying with Kravchenko, then at the Moscow Art Institute.

While still a student, Igor married Natalya Prager, a daughter of the famous Russian painter Vladimir Prager. A few years later, they had their first and only son.

Igor's early exhibitions (1960-1970) were not limited to the Soviet Union, but spread across to Canada (Montreal), and even Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto). These precipitated in diplomas (best book illustrator, best painting, etc.).

In 1975, Igor was deprived of his Soviet citizenship and emigrated to the United States with his family. After living a few years in New York City, they finally settled across the Hudson river in New Jersey.

Among the most prominent exhibitions in the U.S.A. (1980-2005) are:

• 155th Annual Exhibition of the National Academy of Design, 1083 Fifth Avenue, New York
• ARTEXPO-NY (multiple years), New York Coliseum
• Somerset Art Association, Bedminster
• Dow Jones & Co., Inc. (The Wall Street Journal), Princeton
• Raphael Gallery, Newton
• Winsor Gallery, Warren
• Jane Richards Gallery, Fort Lee (joined exhibit with Salvador Dali).

Kononov's works can now be found in private collections in Switzerland, France, Japan, Italy, Canada, England, and Belgium.
