Genia Chef (born Evgeny Scheffer, January 28, 1954) is a German-Russian artist (painting, printmaking, installations) who lives in Berlin. He is regarded as the founder of Post-Historicism, an artistic movement that combines elements of traditional painting with aesthetic experiments and interprets current events in the form of a new mythos.

Genia Chef’s artistic practice consists of creating graphic interpretations of tragic violence and the eternal drama present in medieval heroic sagas such as the Nibelungenlied. He uses bird feathers and ink on torn paper prepared with tea stains, incorporating “controlled chance” into his work. Chef’s main themes revolve around love–hate relationships, loyalty, betrayal, power struggles, and fights, with a stylistic focus that aims more to illuminate a world than to tell stories.
