New Works by Olexander Wlasenko

A timely posting on this Ukrainian Christmas eve....

Olexander is a Canadian artist of Ukrainian descent.  His Ukrainian heritage has had a strong influence in both his life and his art.  Olexander's work has often mirrored social realism and Ukrainian and Eastern European history.  Currently, European film stills of the sixties are his main source of inspiration.  Olexander's medium of choice is pigment on paper.  This is, in his words, "because of the form's immediacy and because it evokes neo-classicism".
