Biography
Oleksandr Balbyshev is a contemporary Ukrainian artist. The most important themes in Balbyshev’s art are male sexuality and sensuality. Artist wants the viewer to see the realm of ideas in faces and bodies, not only a realistic image of a human. He tries to combine in his paintings realities, as visions of worlds within worlds. They show us an image of ourselves and also hint that there is more to us than we know.
Oleksandr Balbyshev is famous for transforming classical Soviet-era portraits of Lenin into highly decorative and chaotic works of art. Artist finds original portraits and sculptures of Lenin made in the Soviet era on flea markets and on announcements on the Internet. He paints on top of old portraits of Lenin fragments from famous paintings or drip paint on them, cut the canvases into pieces and glue them in a chaotic manner, let them paint them for children, he paints the sculptures in funny colors and glues them with various objects. As a result of this artistic gesture, the artist erases the propaganda and ideological meanings of the image, at the same time endowing it with decorative qualities. However, with all the fun of this manipulation, the artwork acquires new meanings, an antinomical combination of play and seriousness, prompting the viewer to go beyond the accepted paradigm.
Oleksandr Balbyshev was born in 1985 in Ukraine. His paintings are in private collections in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Croatia, South Africa, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Mexico, and Japan.

Ein junger Mann mit Blumen um das Haar. Er zeigt sich offen und verletzlich, hingebungsvoll und sinnlich. So etwas kennt man meist nur von schönen jungen Frauen. Sehr schön, dass Mann so sein darf und von dir so schön in Szene gesetzt wurde. Tolles Bild!
Дякую за вашу чудову роботу. Картина зі Святим в цих кольорах оживає на очах.
Вам вдається чудово поєднати кольори.
Чомусь відчувається теплий холод.
Слава українським митцям!
Oleksandr, em sua intrigante obra, observo o primor na escolha das cores, bem saturadas, elegantemente distribuídas e sobretudo os caminhos, as trilhas, o ritmo que os círculos empregam. Não desejo me estender muito, mas sinto-me faltoso em não comentar sobre a correlação entre as cores. Abraços e esperança de paz!
Oleksandr, in his intriguing work, I observe the exquisite choice of colors, well saturated, elegantly distributed and above all the paths, the trails, the rhythm that the circles employ. I don't want to go on too long, but I feel guilty not commenting on the correlation between colors. Hugs and hope for peace!
