About the artwork

Oleksandra’s works are realism locked into Suprematism.

Oleksandra Chychkan took the direction of avant-garde art that arose at the end of the 20th century as a basis for her paintings, this direction carried with it a break between painting and the real world. Oleksandra rethought this identity and filled the forms with realism, using the author’s technique of the college.

Alexandra’s paintings have the effect of complete immersion when approaching them. The artist filled geometric shapes and figures with realism in bright shades. Her works are made using materials, i.e. waste paper. The material for the works draws attention to the acute eco-issue of the Earth.

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).
