SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE
Olexander Wlasenko
Olexander Wlasenko’s studio production focuses on a personal and investigative discourse surrounding drawing’s relationship to lens based media (i.e. photography, cinema) in modern culture. The images he chooses to work with trigger involuntary and perhaps atavistic memories.
As the artist mentions: “I perceive the photos I draw from as touchstones for retrieving a dislocated cultural memory. They are one step, one generation, removed.”
