Vladislav Shereshevsky about late 19 c.
In the Ukrainian art scene I noticed a fun trend - at the commercial galleries there are lots of portraits with oversized heads - the people look like grown-up babies. We got one picture like that for a present two years back from the Gallery 36. These baby-people I pleasant to live with. This one by Vladislav Shereshevsky is of the Romanov family
I particularly like his society portraits, clearly modern faces in late eighteen hundreds setting., like these ladies in red on the bottom. Altogether, here’s another trend - a fascination with the pre-revolution period - seen all throughout Andriyivsky descent on painting settings, restaurant interiors, etc. Well, it fits the period architecture as soon as you step out there outdoors.
All pictures are from the artists’ website.
