Description
LOT 30 Dreams on the wreckage. Gurenko Andrii. Oil. acrylic. 25 x 40 cm, 2023
The artist created a unique painting masterpiece literally on the Artifacts of War. But first, a bit of history – it all started when our heroic soldiers collected from the very heat of battle the lids of the transport and launch containers of the Ukrainian S-300 air defense systems, which are knocked out during the launch of a missile, and these lids became an unusual basis for real paintings. By the way, all the artifacts were directly used by our artillery soldiers during combat operations to protect the Ukrainian sky.
All funds raised through the sale of works during the exhibition and auction will go to support the military, who are regularly supported by the Cossack Drive charity foundation.
Andriy Gurenko is a Ukrainian artist and art critic who works in the fields of painting, graphics and land art. He is an artist whose work should be used to show what magical realism is.
“Magical Realism” is a style that organically combines elements of the real and the fantastic, the everyday and the mythical, the real and the imaginary, and the mysterious. The authors of the genre tried to reflect the essence of life in their artistic images. One of the main criteria of the aesthetics of magical realism is to show deep contradictions and philosophy of life through ordinary characters in typical circumstances.Hurenko’s paintings feature mythical creatures against the background of fictional landscapes. However, all the illustrations contain fragments of the real world
