Oleg Sokolov. UNIVERS ON PAPER
The collection includes more than 50 graphic works of the 1950s-1980s and offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the artistic world formed at the intersection of Soviet reality, personal poetics and inner freedom. Oleh Sokolov is one of the key figures of Ukrainian unofficial art, whose works are characterized by bold metaphor, experiments with form and color, and a hidden critique of social clichés. He is an almost mythological figure in the history of Ukrainian art. His work is a combination of deep intellectuality, philosophical sensitivity, and visual freedom. Working under the constraints of Soviet cultural policy, he was one of the artists who consciously avoided opportunism and chose the path of internal autonomy.
