Nothing is as daunting or beautiful to an artist as a blank white canvas bursting with possibility. Impressionist painter Alexandr Onishenko turns this on its head by painting his canvases black before beginning his impressive work.
Celebrated across the United States and Europe, Onishenko calls the beautiful Czech city of Prague his home; its cobblestone streets and red shingled buildings are the backdrop of many of his works. He explores a vast array of subject matters; busy cityscapes, compelling portraits, and picturesque landscapes have all captured his attention. Onishenko explains, “I seek inspiration from what I see and what I’m experiencing at the moment.” This zest for life is evident as you gaze upon his diverse body of work.
Considered a New Impressionist, he paints impasto, applying vibrant colors heavily, creating intricate textures, in his loose gestural style. His confident strokes are palpable, brimming with energy and life as he slathers on paint with a palette knife. As he paints, the black of each canvas peeks through, bringing uniformity and adding a depth and intensity that is indicative of his signature style. Witness an Onishenko painting and you will find new details waiting to be discovered each time you view it!
