Serguei Zlenko

Born in 1960 in the Republic of GeorgiaMy approach to art evokes a Wittgensteinian philosofical equation which holds that, ultimatly, the reality of existence is something which can not be reduced to logic or pure fact or, as Renoir had it," There is something in the painting which cannot be explained, and that something is essential."While the tradition of realism constitutes the foundation of my art, the works always approach reality as a challenge, as something which must be interrogated by both painter and viewer.
