IGOR OLEINIKOV

MEHRAN CONTEMPORARY IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE ADDITION OF IGOR OLEINIKOV TO ITS ROSTER OF ARTISTS.

“The characteristic of Oleinikov’s works is the ominous silence and morbid life of depicted persons. Still, the necessary dynamic is accomplished between outer calm and inner virility trough a technique that involves interlace of brush, chalk and pen applied together with oil paint, pastels, crayon and pencil. In this play of painting and drawing, delusive shapes are hidden behind the network of lines and reveal only upon closer inspection. Oleinikov’s fictive and always autobiographical characters are lonesome fighters in a quest for the meaning of life. Far from the crowds and everyday life, they wonder between the worlds.” (Susan Wang)
