Bee farm no. 5
2008, oil on gessoed board, 15×15 cm, commission
Another of the bee farm views from my trip.
Jetted through top galleries in Kyiv. Bit of a failure at start - Kollektsiya gallery sublet their space to some soap film crew. Next stop RA gallery featured some Latin American artists in main room as well as plethora of new art by established locals in the back (Kavsan’s pseudo Dutch still life). Their Thursday night opening features new photos by two Georgian photographers Irakli Dzneladze ans Amiko Kavtaradze. Since last visit, I learned that RA art and photo schools are growing up with even more classes and subjects to offer, feeding the need of their graduates for new and updated. In about a month a city wide Kievfotocom festival will bring tons of vry good international photography.
KyivFineArt propsed a semi realistic paintings of oil, sea, sand nudes by Elena and Tatyana Polyaschenko. The impression is - semi professional take on modern art.
Soviart and Karas galleries offered more impressive photo realism canvases and a special Soap project worth a look. Karas’ next big project China forever promises to be equally interesting.
Zeh initiated Samozahvat project, this time housed on a construction side on Borychiv tik 23a and presented an array of Ukrainian modern greats. Except for Solomko’s light box, a nice installation sculpture and canvas by Vasiliy Tsagolov.
And finally Gudimov’s Sumish installatin of antique decorative art and some modern art by Tistol, Vlada ralko and others creats a nice genretal impression.
