Volodymyr Bohuslavskyy is a famous artist who actively displayed his postmodern form-making aesthetics, which was so different from socialist realism in the 80’s. He is well known to its admirers. First of all, perfectly styled scenes: exquisite landscapes, still lifes, which together with the expressive colors are harmoniously associated with delicate detailing and stylization, sculpturally weighed down to the smallest details. This time Bohuslavskyy will show another to us unexpected side of his creative nature at his personal exhibition in the “Green Sofa”. It will be all about  the abstract painting. The imaging of all terrestrial things of the material world requires from the artist. The sky, the trees, the human skin color dictate their rules of their images. The painting – what is its main expressive means? First of all, it’s a color. Not a line, not a volume which is a means of graphics and sculpture. A lot of variety in thousandths of color variations with which the artist is free to behave just getting rid of subjects, themes and often even untitled. Abstraction is the color of freedom.

The freedom of the artist Volodymyr Bohuslavskyy will be presented by two dozen new abstract canvases created during the last five years in oil, acrylic and tempera paints.
