Artwork Description

Mykola Kryvenko (1950) is a Ukrainian artist, graphic designer, and master of bronze and wood figurative sculpture. Studying with the artist Hryhoriy Havrylenko in the 1970s and 1980s greatly influenced the formation of Krivenko's style. In the mid-1990s, he joined the Kyiv group of abstract painters, "Picturesque Reserve". Mykola Krivenko's style is often characterized as minimalistic. First, this concerns his ascetic palette in painting: pastel, natural tones, and sometimes wholly monochrome pieces. The author calls his art intuitive abstraction, where the idea, the inner state, and the source on which the method, composition, and color work are in the first place. 

 

In the piece "Painting of the Tang Era", the deep meaning of observing nature is incorporated into its artistic technique, which repeats the texture of nature. Brush stroke after brush stroke, line after line, is formed in a whirlwind and turns into color-time, color-space, an unexpected and suddenly caught moment. The structure of the painting resembles the naive medieval painting of ancient Chinese masters on rice. The author leaves the viewer with the opportunity, with a little strain of imagination, to visualize the movement of the form outside the canvas. This is how he achieves an infinite spatiality greater than that in life.
