Oleg Petrovich Grigorash<\/a><\/strong> is an artist of euphoria and a sculptor of color.\u00a0<\/span>His works are distinguished by an individual style, distinctive technique, and unexpected color solutions. Oleg Grigorash\u2019s creative journey has taken him from drawings on linoleum to solo exhibitions, and today his paintings are held in private collections in Russia and abroad.<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An incident during his military service in the GDR had a profound influence on the artist\u2019s work. One day, his commanding officer secretly took the soldier off base, dressed him in civilian clothes, and drove him to the Dresden Gallery. The artist\u2019s dream of seeing the Old Masters thus came true, shaping the course of his subsequent work.<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oleg Grigorash absorbed the methods of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, yet employs them in a highly distinctive manner. The character of his works varied throughout the different stages of his career, yet certain shared principles always stand out: sweeping strokes, dense compositions, soft forms, richly textured surfaces, and distinctive color solutions.\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The artist has always been drawn more to color than to graphic art, and he rarely works with a brush, preferring a palette knife and the paint tube itself. \u201cWhen you paint with a palette knife, a sponge, or straight from the tube while listening to music, a feeling of euphoria inevitably arises,\u201d the artist says.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Oleg Grigorash\u2019s works, color unquestionably takes precedence over form and objects, and even over the paintings\u2019 subjects themselves. Human figures and objects on the artist\u2019s canvases are simplified and rendered primitive, while the paintings remain realistic. In this way, he deliberately and consistently creates a distinctive aesthetic, infusing his works with an inner energetic glow and filling the viewer with a sense of gentle euphoria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
