Chichkan Sasha
At an exhibition dedicated to the theme of resilience, Oleksandra Chychkan presents works in homage to Malevich, exploring the importance of family ties, female strength, and the warmth of home in times of change.
“Bride” reveals a woman’s inner strength and resilience, maintaining the elegance of the image through the veil, while “Family” reflects the concept of family as a foundation. Simple yet powerful forms emphasize the need for adaptation and the fortification of inner space amid external threats.
Together, these works create a profound commentary on the significance of personal connections and values during times of change, inviting reflection on one’s own relationships and paths to resilience.
Oleksandra Chichkan is a Ukrainian artist. She won the national competition of urban sculpture “Image of the Future” (2011). She has participated in such projects as Yin (M17 Contemporary Art Center, 2013), Should the world break (Ludmila Bereznitska & Partners Gallery, 2013), and Ukrainian Fashion Week. The author’s works are in many private collections. She lives and works in Kyiv.
Oleksandra Chichkan was born in Kyiv in 1988 in a family of famous artists. “One day Sasha came to me and said: “Trees are dying, turning into gloss. Let’s give them a new life,’” explains Ilya. ”And she started cutting monkeys out of Madonnas and Scarlett Johansson and making collages. It’s a pity that nature is turning into waste paper. But thanks to Sasha, it turns into art!” says her father, Ilya Chichkan, about her work (interview ”Parents and Children: Ilya and Sasha Chichkan about glossy magazines, talent and joint exhibition” for Vogue.ua, 16.12.17).
