Oleg dedicated his life to photography. Any expert or critic can not definitively characterize the genre in which the author works. Scope of the genre-like frameworks of existence, limit, driving creativity in doling styles and trends here. How to understand and appreciate the pictures, the creation of which is spent life? What scientific language can explain the motion of one person who has subjected himself to art? Art is not for the sake of art, and what else but art. This is how the program, planted somewhere inside. It is impossible not to run. Endless pursuit of chimeras, fleeting harmony vanishing, craving for perfection and again a new movement, a new battle. Each shot is done in the limiting voltage, no frame is not done just so. Oleg Kaplan's creativity comes true at once in many directions: shooting a glass, a subject, a model, a genre or a landscape. One subject is replaced by another, gaining strength in each vector of the movement. Its invention is expressed in operation and updated in necessary continuity. Oleg doesn't borrow style, isn't submitted influence, he looks for an essence necessary to it: combinations of color shades of Van Gogh, wonderful minimalism of Karl Blossfeld, geometrization and Rodchenko's constructivism, innovation and amazing inventions of Irving Penn. Any idea is transformed. The clarity of the intent of the photos Oleg achieved through simplification, self-discipline, the drama and the increasing intensity of the action. The reality in frames subject to forces that does not destroy , but rebirth , rebuild it in the new order, in a more pure form. This force is the personality of the artist, photographer. Ideal in the spirit, in the manner and direction of thought, the form is not primary, it is just a consequence. Oleg Kaplan, the pictorialist who removes the searches «for a side». Experience of borders of the cognizable is unique. In authors of such exclusive originality we are attracted by authority of the personality, gravity of the taken task, reckless readiness to offer itself for the sake of the truth. Own art by Oleg Kaplan has developed and is developing smoothly, without sudden emptiness. From series to series, it is still the same river, carrying water smoothly or quickly.
