ABOUT THE ARTWORK

“Universal loneliness is a modern collective drama that remains incurable. Compensation for love is oppression that aims to prevail, to bring balance, to swing the scales in the other direction. Serhiy Savchenko in a conversation with Olena Grabb. Gdańsk – Istanbul, September 2020 Greek cosmogenic theory states that our universe arose from chaos. Chaos contained the absolute of all dichotomies and opposites, integrity, and separation. In the period of Chaos, all antagonists existed simultaneously, because they did not know such a concept as time. Chaos is divided into two basic elements – earth and light and eternal darkness. The third fundamental element of cosmogony was Eros. Aristotle and Plato argued that it was Eros who became the force that united the antagonists and brought them out of the passive state of allegorical Being into the active state of Creation and therefore of joint creativity. This is how life was born. In a series of works by Serhiy Savchenko “Kiss”, universal loneliness is a passive state of Being as opposed to the active state of Creation. The kiss of Eros, the touch, the communion is contrasted with disunity, coldness, eternal incurable darkness in the hope that Eros, by the power of his primordial love, which we will later see in all without exception, religious, philosophical and mystical treatises of humanity, will revive us from chaos.

I am Serhiy Savchenko, a Ukrainian artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries, merging the abstract with the surreal to create visually arresting pieces. Born in Lviv, Ukraine, I have developed a unique artistic language that reflects my profound engagement with contemporary themes and timeless human experiences. Artistic Journey: My artistic journey began at an early age, leading me to formal education at the Lviv National Academy of Arts. Here, I honed my skills and developed a keen eye for detail and composition. Over the years, my work has evolved, embracing various mediums, with a particular focus on oil and acrylic on canvas. My commitment to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression has earned me recognition both locally and internationally. Artistic Style and Influence: My art is characterized by its vibrant use of color, intricate textures, and dynamic compositions. My works often depict fantastical landscapes and abstract forms, inviting viewers into a world where reality and imagination intertwine. The themes explored in my paintings include the complexities of human existence, the beauty of nature, and the impact of time on both. Influenced by the surrealist movement, my pieces often evoke a sense of dreamlike wonder, while my abstract approach allows for a multitude of interpretations. My ability to convey deep emotions and narratives through abstract forms and surreal elements sets my work apart in the contemporary art scene. Exhibitions and Achievements: My work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Europe, including prestigious galleries in Ukraine, Germany, and France. My paintings are held in private collections worldwide, reflecting my growing influence and the universal appeal of my art. Artist Statement: "In my work, I seek to capture the unseen – the emotions, dreams, and experiences that shape our inner worlds. Each painting is an invitation to embark on a journey of exploration, to uncover the hidden stories within the colors and forms. Art is a universal language, and through it, I strive to connect with viewers on a deeper, more personal level."
