Bijzondere (geëngageerde) kunst van Oekraïense kunstenaar Serhiy Kolyada
Het EK-voetbal is al weer een paar maand voorbij en Oekraïne is weer in de vergetelheid geraakt (of vergissen we ons?). Hoe dan ook, uit dat land ontvingen we een e-mailbericht van de kunstenaar Serhiy Kolyada. Zijn kunst is zoals hij zelf zegt ‘underground’ en ‘verboden’. Onderstaand zijn bericht en een link naar zijn pagina op internet. We doen dit niet vaak, maar vonden het toch de moeite waard Nederland kennis te laten maken met het werk van deze bijzondere kunstenaar.
“It is a big honor for me to present my art to you which is underground and almost forbidden in Ukraine.
This is what American newspaper Kyiv Post (located in Ukraine) wrote about me in 2004:
“Serhiy Kolyada got in hot water with Kyiv's art establishment with his ballpoint-on-construction paper productions, portraying Kyiv as a melancholy zone of shadows. Check out his Web site (www.kolyada.com) to see his nude or semi-nude women depicted against shadowy backgrounds of corporate slogans. It's art as social commentary: gutsy reflections on money, power and gender issues in Ukraine.” (50 Great Things About Kyiv KYIV POST, Oct 20, 2004)
So, you are welcome to visit my web-site and have a look at my art at www.kolyada.com!
After the democratic Orange revolution in 2004 the Ukrainian people got some freedom in our country. At that time I found some other artists who depicted the true life in Ukraine and we managed to organize some exhibitions and took part in different art fairs.
Now the situation is changed and we have the censorship again.”
Het werk van Kolyada is te koop.
