Lesya Demchenko

Born in Kiev (Ukraine) 1974 Lives in Turkey. The most interesting thing about Demchenko's art is, of course, "˜Cartonage' tekhnique. Material which is used for it is corrugated carboard, which is cut, painted, glued. And other pieces of paper are glued on it. But it is not what we used to call collage, the main joke is, how inside part of the cardboard is used. İ mean waves inside corrugated cardboard, which from the distance look like stripes of colour.
Cartonage pictures are very rich, because of variety of possibilities, its colors, and of course originality.
