Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Alexander Ishchenko

Israel

Alexander Ishchenko was born in 1958 and raised in the town Khmelnitsky, Ukraine.
Already as a child, he discovered a huge passion for art and drawing and showed his abilities and talent in the field from the young age of 5.
Throughout the years, Thanks to his great and faithful love for art, Ischenko was inspired and decided to study the field of fantasy, With an emphasis on ״OGRE”- A whole artistic world of surrealistic fantasy characters, books, and games.
He completed his degree at the Academic Institute of Art in Khmelnitsky, and after completing his academic studies began to work and devote his life as an artist.

In 1991 Alexander immigrated with his family to Israel and continued to paint and engage in his art, to develop further his art career.
In 2005, Alexander decided to turn his great passion into a full-time job and began working at the “Rumi” Gallery- where he first met the complex technique of working with paper-rice that later on, he had decided to adopt for his works.

The painting technique and caricature of Ischenko are complex and unique. In his works, he uses acrylic paints on rice paper, where the uniqueness of this method is entirely manually processing of the rice paper, before applying the background.
The method initially came from hundreds of years ago from countries such as Vietnam, Korea, and Japan, where rice paper was then used for art drawing as a primary substitute, instead of the usual paper we are familiar nowadays.

Alexander's artistic imprint can be identified in his paintings by its influence from a comics and caricaturist world full of imagination, combined with the world of surreal fantasy, reflecting the way Alexander views the world and life, as an artist from the depths of his soul.

Alexander Ischenko has participated in various galleries and exhibitions throughout Israel, including Rumi Gallery 2006-2007, Art Focus Gallery, multiple exhibitions in Rishon-Letzion and Bat-Yam and many more.
His works are sold as private collections around the world in Canada, the US, Russia and throughout Europe, alongside works sold in Israel
